7 AM

Bike - Road 31:00 [2] 13.07 km (2:22 / km) +39m 2:20 / km

IW. Nice and easy. Aware that last nights session is not the usual sort that my body is sued to alright.

5 PM

Bike - Road 29:38 [2] 12.96 km (2:17 / km) +46m 2:15 / km

HFW. Although I did stop off at Blackwier to enjoy the sun for a while I have no idea why this was so quick, I went through the park, took it easy and there was a bit of a head wind. Strange.

Event: Summer Park Series 2

7 AM

Bike - Road 32:29 [2] 13.1 km (2:29 / km) +37m 2:27 / km

IW. Tyre soft again. Nice cool morning, bit overcast, made it quite dark under the trees.

6 PM

Bike - Road 16:28 [2] 5.63 km (2:55 / km) +2m 2:55 / km

Across town to Victoria Park. Tyre still hard.

Run - Orienteering race 27:13 [5] 6.58 km (4:08 / km) +31m 4:02 / km
shoes: Asics Gel GT 1120 07

CArdiff Park Series, Race 2, Victoria Park (and Tompson Park and Pontcanna). 5.1km, 18 controls.
A most enjoyable way to get a bit of fast running in. As I know all of this area well I didn't have any problems knowing where the gates in and out of the parks were, but did have a bit of a problem with uncooperative legs and quads not liking the road sections between the parks. Great to see quite a few kids running around the park in the evening sun and looking like there were enjoying the O.

7 PM

Bike - Road 30:37 [2] 11.61 km (2:38 / km) +44m 2:35 / km

Home from the O, partly with GD44. Easy pace - feed don't like cycling without SPDs. Windy.

7 AM

Bike - Road 30:39 [2] 13.03 km (2:21 / km) +37m 2:19 / km

IW. Following wind - smashing. Driver pulling out in front of me without looking, not so much. Luckily I had predicted what she was about to do and was prepared to take avoiding action.

4 PM

Bike - Road 32:11 [2] 12.65 km (2:33 / km) +49m 2:30 / km

HFW. Quite a stiff head wind but also able to move okay at times. Rear a bit soft again so taking it easy over the bumpy bits.

6 PM

Run - Trail 1:08:53 12.18 km (5:39 / km) +448m 4:47 / km
shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite (4)

MDC run around the Coity race route, well sort of. Took a few detours to check out the local scenery (including Big Pit) and even nipped across the road to play on the spoil heaps in Pwll Du. Legs were tired but moving okay. Really enjoyed it.

12 PM

Run - Terrain 1:09:16 [2] 9.36 km (7:24 / km) +212m 6:39 / km
shoes: VJ Falcons 11

Checking a bit more the terrain and the map on Llangynidr. Another stunning day, although there was a bit of a wind up here. Had the hills to myself, an empty wilderness with big sky - it really doesn't feel like the type of place that will be improved with a racing tack along side it.

4 PM

Run - Trail 1:08:24 [3] 11.34 km (6:02 / km) +347m 5:14 / km
shoes: Asics Trabuco 12 WR

Again not very motivated - I get lazy when it's so sunny and warm. As usual,I enjoyed it once out and felt really comfortable running along. Considering how nice the day was there was a notable absence of people everywhere apart from the cafe and pub that I passed! Took 15 minutes to myself on the top of Craig yr Allt to enjoy the moment.

6 PM

Run - Trail 1:14:01 [3] 12.2 km (6:04 / km) +405m 5:12 / km
shoes: Asics Trabuco 12 WR

Long sunny evenings mean that you can put off getting out for a long time... Did eventually get out and once warmed up, was glad that I made the effort - even found a few paths around Pentyrch that I didn't know existed.

1 PM

Run - Terrain 1:05:21 [1] 7.23 km (9:03 / km) +100m 8:28 / km
shoes: VJ Falcons 11

Very easy around Llangynidr, first with Roger checking potential start locations and junior courses and then a sloe run to check the existence of some paths. Legs really not up for much today.
