8 AM

Bike - Road 2:00:00 intensity: (30:00 @1) + (40:00 @2) + (35:00 @3) + (15:00 @4) 74.41 km (1:37 / km) +865m 1:31 / km

Peaks and Pain - Day 3 - Rhayader to Pen-y-Fan (Time: 3:25)
Think was quite fun. A nice section on the A470 in the morning (quite and wide) so great progress to Builth (drink stop) before heading down the side of the Wye to Boughrood (then a nasty bit on the A470 again - including a driver with road rage). Took this route as the gang couldn't face the climb over the hills past Upper Chapel).
Lunch stop in Brecon and then a long but steady climb up to the Storey Arms. Hot and sunny.
2 PM

Walk 50:00 [1] 6.76 km (7:23 / km) +463m 5:30 / km
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2017 (blue)

Peaks and Pain - Day 3 - Pen-y-Fan (Time: 1:50)
Easy but steady walk up the last hill. Busy, but most people coming down and we didn't even have to wait for the summit picture!
4 PM

Bike - Road 1:24:00 intensity: (9:00 @2) + (1:00:00 @3) + (15:00 @4) 44.89 km (1:52 / km) +148m 1:50 / km

Peaks and Pain - Day 3 - Pen-y-Fan - Taffs Well
Only three of us did this bit and we were the stronger cyclists, so we covered the ground much quicker than the rest of the weekend. A nice end to the trip.

7 AM

Bike - Road 30:28 [2] 6.47 km (4:42 / km) +188m 4:07 / km

Peaks and Pain - Day 2 - Dolgellau to Cadair Idris
Early enough start for the short (but steep) trek up to Cadair base. Delayed somewhat by a bent chain ring on one of the guys bikes (fixed with an iron rod and a rock) and then waiting for the support van to turn up (which had gone to the opposite side of the hill...)
9 AM

Walk 1:20:00 [2] 9.45 km (8:28 / km) +770m 6:01 / km
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2017 (blue)

Peaks and Pain - Day 2 - Cadair Idris (Time: 2:35)
Great walk this one and in sunshine as well. A really nice mountain with a proper rocky summit. An up and over walk (to save about 15km of cycling). The route down was gorgeous, especially in the sun. Long wait for the van to get back around (drive had climbed up with us).
Made to feel a bit pathetic by overlapping with the Dragon Duathlon - Swansea to Anglesey on a bike, including the three peaks (running), in 24 hours.
1 PM

Bike - Road 32:12 [2] 14.63 km (2:12 / km) +163m 2:05 / km

Peaks and Pain - Day 2 - Cadair Idris to Machynlleth
This was a fun quick blast and we kept the pace relatively high. Nasty wee climb at the start but then lots of down.
3 PM

Bike - Road 2:00:00 intensity: (30:00 @1) + (40:00 @2) + (30:00 @3) + (15:00 @4) + (5:00 @5) 62.0 km (1:56 / km) +1119m 1:47 / km

Peaks and Pain - Day 2 - Machynlleth to Rhayadr (Time: 3:30)
This was by far the toughest section. Big climb to start with, and the only time of the weekend that we all split up to do our own thing. Tough but enjoyed it, but pooped after.
After Staylittle it was a long and bumped cycle on narrow lanes with plenty of steep hills. Felt like we'd never get here. GPS died about an hours from the end (which included a trip in Rhayader to look for food). Long day.

9 AM

Bike - Road 25:59 [2] 8.97 km (2:54 / km) +304m 2:29 / km

Peaks and Pain - Day 1 - Llanberis to Pen-y-pass
Not the easiest start to the trip, but also nowhere near as steep as I was expecting. However, also pretty wet so not the most enjoyable.
10 AM

Walk 1:30:00 [1] 12.21 km (7:22 / km) +763m 5:37 / km
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2017 (blue)

Peaks and Pain - Day 1 - Snowdon (time: 3:05)
Twice up in a month (after a 30 years gap...) but wet for the third time. Easy walk up the Miners track, tea stop on top and back down the Pyg track. Rain, to some degree, all the way.
2 PM

Bike - Road 1:30:00 intensity: (45:00 @1) + (30:00 @2) + (15:00 @3) 77.41 km (1:10 / km) +584m 1:07 / km

Peaks and Pain - Day 1 - Pen-y-pass to Dolgellau (Time: 3:05)
Lovely descent off Pen-y-pass and out of the. Lunch stop in Porthmadog and then an easy afternoon of mostly flat roads (and a drinks stop in Barmouth).

7 AM

Bike - Road 29:39 [2] 12.99 km (2:17 / km) +27m 2:16 / km

IW. On the road bike, quite a bit more speedy (once warmed up).
10 PM

Bike - Road 30:00 [1] 17.22 km (1:45 / km) +226m 1:38 / km

Peaks and Pain - Day 0.5 - Bangor to Llanberis (Time: 55 mins)
A bonus bit as it would have been silly not to. Easy cycle (one we got out of Bangor) but lacking in lights in the group. Trip up on the train my first first class experience - three course meal included.

SBOC evening evening on Kenfig. Nice evening and the ground just about grassy enough so it wasn't all about flat out running. Nice course and enjoyed the leg stretch.

shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2017 (blue)

MDC run from Katie and Steve's. Threatening rain stayed away and it was a nice, but quite tough run. For some reason my legs wanted to go uphill so I opted for the steeper route and enjoyed myself. Was pretty pooped by the top though. Fun descent before the long track/road run for home - Skipped the footpath option to get back to eat more - mistake, ate way too much (but it was all sooo good!).
