Bike - Road 31:26 [3] 12.93 km (2:26 / km) +33m 2:24 / km

IW. Another 100% gorgeous morning. Beautiful. Found GD44 at out bike rack at work, poor man must be losing it as he works elsewhere - maybe it was more than just his elbow that was damaged when that dog knocked him off his bike?

5 PM

Bike - Road 28:04 12.72 km (2:12 / km) +47m 2:10 / km

HFW. Weather still awesome. Moving okay as well, but finding it hard work. Needed to as only just made the evening run in time. Highlight of the day was getting a personal request of Daniel to 'like' his Facebook page - how could I refuse a teammate?

6 PM

Run - Trail 1:14:39 12.06 km (6:11 / km) +196m 5:43 / km
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2016

MDC run from Marcross along the heritage coast to Witches Point and back. Lovely sunset and moon over the cliffs. Tide on it's way out but not quite enough beach in places so plenty of rock running - must make sure that we do this in the daylight next year - though I did kind of like running on the beach in the moonlight.

Bike - Road 30:51 12.97 km (2:23 / km) +32m 2:21 / km

IW. Much colder than expecting, even some frost in the parks by the river, plenty warm enough in shorts although gloves with fingers may have been nice.

5 PM

Bike - Road 27:47 12.71 km (2:11 / km) +47m 2:09 / km

HFW. Traffic heavy but moving, legs not so heavy and actually moving okay, pushed on quite a bit.

Walk 15:00 [1]

Desperate times to log this but there wasn't much else I could do today, another long day traveling, leaving at 9:00 and getting home at 22:00. Shame the flights were so cack but it was worth it overall. Walk was around Cardiff as I had to get from the bus station to central station and then to Queen Street station as the line was shut.

Event: Llangattock

10 AM

Run - Trail warm up/down 22:42 [2] 3.51 km (6:28 / km) +66m 5:55 / km
shoes: VJ Supra 14

Good warm up, including in the only bit of terrain that wasn't embargoed, only problem was that it was full of people skipping the toilet queue...

11 AM

Run - Orienteering race 40:15 [5] 6.97 km (5:46 / km) +75m 5:29 / km
shoes: VJ Supra 14

25manna, 5th leg wit KooVee, 213th on leg, team 2nd.

Looking at the splits I was the weakest person in the team, loosing more time to the faster leg time than anyone else, but then again I was an old man on an open leg, so that was to be expected. Having said that, I would like to have been a couple of minutes quicker, but that's not going to happen with just doing one race a year in Scandiland.

Race was decent enough then, no major misses but quite a few small ones, was running okay but certainly lacking top speed. Was fun to be out in the terrain with lots of tops runners as well, even if I didn't see them for long as they all whizzed past.

However, the team as a whole did excellent and having a multiple work champion on last leg was the difference between second and just making the podium. Will have to come back next year a bit faster.
