7 AM

Bike - Road 29:59 [3] 13.18 km (2:17 / km) +40m 2:14 / km

IW. Had a leach stuck to me most of the way in, until he decided to make a full on attack and sprinted past, got his 20m and stayed there for the last km. Cyclists are weird, it's just a ride to work.

C • 'just a ride to work' ?? 2

5 PM

Bike - Road 33:06 [3] 12.81 km (2:35 / km) +56m 2:32 / km

HFW. Headwind was surprisingly cold but happy enough just to take it easy and rest the body. Think it's in pretty good shape for the weekend. We'll see.

5 PM

Bike - Road 33:57 [3] 12.75 km (2:40 / km) +58m 2:36 / km

HFW. Headwind, but I did manage to miss the rather nasty wintery showers that were blowing through all afternoon.

Bike - Road 32:02 [2] 12.97 km (2:28 / km) +39m 2:26 / km

IW. Nothing to see here. If you've just read this then you've just wasted 10 seconds of your life. You will never get them back.

C • Dammit, now I read it twice... 2

5 PM

Bike - Road 33:45 [2] 12.92 km (2:37 / km) +85m 2:32 / km

9 AM

Bike - Mountain 3:12:26 61.92 km (3:06 / km) +636m 2:57 / km

Easy cycle on the mountain bike exploring the local cycle routes. Need a new bike for this type of ride, the trails are too fast and smooth for a mtb bike but too dirty and twisty for a road bike... Glorious day again, bit of a nippy wind but lots of sunshine.

Event: NGOC League 3

11 AM

Run - Trail warm up/down 20:03 3.09 km (6:29 / km) +70m 5:49 / km
ahr:125 max:160 shoes: VJ Falcons 11

12 PM

Run - Orienteering race 40:54 6.33 km (6:28 / km) +253m 5:23 / km
ahr:85 max:133 shoes: VJ Falcons 11

NGOC League, High meadow, Blue, 6.0km, 260m, 19 controls.

Not feeling very motivated this morning but thought a bit of a work out and some O practice would be a good idea before next weekend. Glad I made the effort as I really enjoyed it and it was a glorious spring day.

The map wasn't so glorious, really, really needs a re-survey with lidar. In fact, just a basic update would help a lot (any area marked as open was basically impenetrable). However, managed to avoid those bits and it was only the badly depicted slope at the last control that caught me out (45 seconds or so).

Don't know what was up with the HRM, it was fine during the warm up but gave a very low reading through the race (I was trying). Maybe change the battery for next weekend. Results and stuff here.

Run - Trail warm up/down 4:04 [1] 0.57 km (7:10 / km) +10m 6:35 / km

Run - Trail 2:00:58 19.0 km (6:22 / km) +561m 5:33 / km
ahr:130 max:165 shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite (5)

Bit of an explore north of Caerphilly. Legs felt quite crap and it was spitting the whole way around, so never really got into it. Nice to be able to do 2 hours without it being hard work when you're not feeling it though.

Bike - Road 30:45 13.03 km (2:22 / km) +40m 2:19 / km

5 PM

Bike - Road 27:14 12.91 km (2:07 / km) +47m 2:04 / km

HFW. Don't know why, but pushed on a bit this evening, even with a bit of a headwind. Good time too.
