7 AM

Bike - Road 33:34 [2] 13.11 km (2:34 / km) +26m 2:32 / km

IW. Woke to the sound of rain but it had eased nicely by the time I left. Body very sleepy this morning.

7 PM

Bike - Road 32:30 [2] 13.07 km (2:29 / km) +71m 2:25 / km

HFW. Trail covered in that horrible muck that wet and mushy leaves turn into after rain. Sore muscles in my back and arms, presumably from flailing about on the steep slopes yesterday.

Event: CompassSport Cup Final

12 PM

Run - Trail 12:00 2.34 km (5:08 / km) +2m 5:06 / km
shoes: VJ Supra 14

Quite a quick run to the start - didn't leave myself as time as I thought I had (plus had to turn around as I'd forgotten my SI card).

1 PM

Run - Orienteering race 57:36 9.89 km (5:49 / km) +357m 4:56 / km
shoes: VJ Supra 14

CompassSport Cup Final, Virtuous Lady, Short Brown. 8.1km, 345m
Started well but wishing I'd worm my new shoes on the super slippery contouring legs. Made a mess of #14 and #15 where I didn't understand the gorse mapping and was a little scrappy in a few places thereafter. Lost about 2:15 altogether, so not bad but enough to be third overall, but less than 30 seconds off Nick in the lead.

A good performance from an under-strength and relatively small team (although still very impressive to have nearly 50 runners this far from home) saw FVO finish second to a strong BOK team.

2 PM

Run - Orienteering 57:19 8.32 km (6:53 / km) +216m 6:06 / km
shoes: VJ Supra 14

A bit of O warm p for tomorrow at Burrator Reservoir, a lovely bit of scattered woodland and mine workings. Map was very '80's in style but sufficient. Lucky to avoid the worst of the wind and rain from Storm Brian.

4 PM

Run - Terrain 1:21:12 [2] 10.4 km (7:48 / km) +317m 6:46 / km
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2017 (blue)

Early evening terrain run with Emma from the national park place. Quite a bit of bog and tussocks in the open but also enough animal tracks to avoid most of it. Nice easy pace, very enjoyable.

7 AM

Bike - Road 31:00 13.0 km (2:23 / km) +40m 2:21 / km

IW. Could not find my watch this morning, must have dropped it somewhere after downloading it last night. Going to have to go through all the bins etc.. when I get home. Otherwise a fairly normal morning although more cyclists than usual out.

6 PM

Bike - Road 20:00 [3] 8.0 km (2:30 / km) +40m 2:26 / km

Out to Marks from where he gave me a lift to climbing. Sooo many traffic lights. Also got lost taking the cycle path through Galbafa and almost headed back into town...

8 PM

Climbing 30:00 [1]

Climbing at Spot with Mark. He had to take it easy to protect a sore ankle. Not got a lot of strength but ticked of a good balance green route.

Event: After Dark 1 and SWOC AGM

7 AM

Bike - Road 32:55 [2] 12.98 km (2:32 / km) +29m 2:30 / km

IW. A bit cooler but still a grand morning.

5 PM

Bike - Road 29:47 [2] 12.89 km (2:19 / km) +51m 2:16 / km

HFW. Full of treats! Friendly traffic lights, gutters on the Haley Park underpass now nice smooth tarmac and it was a nice cool evening with no wind.

6 PM

Run - Orienteering race 45:55 8.86 km (5:11 / km) +118m 4:52 / km
shoes: Asics GT 2000

SWOC Street O around Radyr. Still coughing a bit so took it steady. The 45 minute time limit made the area feel much bigger so went out expecting to miss some. Got all the 30 pointers but failed to see one of the 20's that I could have made. Otherwise good and back early, which turned out to be a good things as my light died just before the last control.

7 AM

Bike - Road 32:36 [2] 12.95 km (2:31 / km) +33m 2:29 / km

IW. Nothing more than few leaves and twigs on the trail, the wind really didn't turn up here. Another super mild morning.

C • Swoc WNL event. 1

4 PM

Bike - Road 30:51 [3] 12.82 km (2:24 / km) +56m 2:21 / km

HFW. Exciting times on the trail - it looks like the council is fixing the gutters in the underpass at Haley Park (need to bunny hop these every day to avoid pinch punctures).

6 PM

Run - Trail 1:21:43 11.39 km (7:11 / km) +293m 6:22 / km
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2017 (blue)

Lovely relaxed MDC run from Merthyr up onto the common. Didn't run my planned route as I forgot how dark it is at this time of year and the trods required to avoid the tussocks and limestone pavement would have been impossible to find. Few out tonight but very enjoyable, easy route, mild evening and a lovely sunset.
