Event: CompassSport Cup Heat

11 AM

Run - Trail 2:12:22 24.39 km (5:26 / km) +511m 4:55 / km
ahr:134 max:165 shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite (5)

An explore around the FoD while the others were out orienteering - I wasn't allowed to run as it was Compasssport Cup and I didn't want to pay £9 for a Light Green (well done to FVO for winning in Scotland today). Will have to wait until the next race to visit the new bit of map.

Beautiful day, mild and sunny and it was lovely to be out, the hills may have been nicer but the woods were nice for a change. Tried to find as many soft paths as possible but still had plenty of time on forest roads. The last hour was much harder work than it should have been considering how slow I was running.

Bike - Mountain 3:15:38 52.63 km (3:43 / km) +952m 3:25 / km
ahr:127 max:159

On the mountain bike with Mark P out to Llanwonno. Never been that way or done a decent mtb ride from home, so seemed like a good idea. For the most part it was, had trouble keeping up with Mark and there were a lot of roads but it was a good explore all the same. One technical downhill and another down a stream, but the rest was all easy riding. Much enjoyed.

7 AM

Bike - Road 30:48 [2] 13.07 km (2:21 / km) +39m 2:19 / km

IW. Waved my arm at a knob in a car who passed far to close to me, passed him later in traffic and glared only for him to give me the finger. Certainly living up to the title of a knob.

5 PM

Bike - Road 30:52 [3] 12.84 km (2:24 / km) +47m 2:22 / km

HFW. Lovely evening, tired a bit harder but the body didn't really respond.

7 AM

Bike - Road 32:31 [2] 13.06 km (2:29 / km) +40m 2:27 / km

IW. Glorious morning and the sun well up by the time I had to get moving. Bit of a frost about alright but no ice.

5 PM

Bike - Road 31:51 [2] 12.76 km (2:30 / km) +65m 2:26 / km

HFW. Headwind again but not so fierce this evening. Came within a few centimeters of being wiped out by a kid who randomly decided to cycle across a pedestrian crossing.

7 AM

Bike - Road 30:39 [2] 13.09 km (2:20 / km) +37m 2:18 / km

IW. Expecting a deluge but it seemed to have rained itself out over night. Not complaining there.

5 PM

Bike - Road 34:12 [2] 12.81 km (2:40 / km) +64m 2:36 / km

HFW. Mad windy and a head wind all the way. Standing on the pedals just to keep moving for large bits. Sometimes I miss gears.

7 AM

Bike - Road 34:14 [2] 12.99 km (2:38 / km) +40m 2:36 / km

IW. Drizzle and cold. It's good to be back at work... Breakfast wouldn't settle. Maybe I need to eat less.

5 PM

Bike - Road 32:09 [2] 12.39 km (2:36 / km) +46m 2:33 / km

HFW. Nice enough evening but no energy to get moving. Great to be able to get home in the light.

6 PM

Run - Trail 1:23:51 15.11 km (5:33 / km) +371m 4:57 / km
shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite (5)

MDC run from GD44's in Whitchurch out to Caerphilly Mountain. Body just not with it, guess the Spaiinsh training camp followed by the trekking was pretty hard on it. Very happy to chug along mid group. Nice evening and a good feed after, thanks Gary (and Dawn).

Note
(rest day)

Long day travelling home, easy to get as far as Gatwick but slow and delayed trains back from there. Not looking forward to going back to work. At all. A truly great and enjoyable trip. Now to start some exercise again.
