Event: Winter Short Score 4 MTBO Score

10 AM

Run - Trail warm up/down 12:01 [2] 2.21 km (5:27 / km) +51m 4:53 / km
shoes: VJ Falcons 14

Warm up trot along the forest roads.

Run - Orienteering race 1:01:33 [4] 8.93 km (6:54 / km) +366m 5:43 / km
shoes: VJ Falcons 14

Margam Forest, Welsh League, Brown, 7.8km, 280m, 20 controls.
Really enjoyed this (aside from opting to cut through the dark green to #16) but had no oomph in the body at all. Plodded arounf enjoying the sunshine and the forest, doing my best to avoid the roads as much as possible. This is the sort of area that I should run quite well in but just don't have any form at the moment at all. Not surprised to be beaten by Megcd (although I was just ahead until I went exploring the brambles at #16), but was surprised that BenM wasn't further ahead.

Event: Saturday Score and SWOC Training

Note
(rest day)

Not had an unenforced day off for a very long time. But today I both didn't feel lie doing any exercise and had other things to get done.

Trot/walk with Nicky over the western Beacons incorporating some map reading lessons. Mostly walking the ups (apart from Fan Nedd) and trotting the rest. First visit to Maen Llia. Dry but not quite as warm as I was expecting (moving for about 5 hours0.

6 PM

Bike - Road 31:50 [2] 12.78 km (2:29 / km) +49m 2:27 / km

7 AM

Bike - Road 35:02 [1] 13.02 km (2:41 / km) +27m 2:40 / km

6 PM

Bike - Road 34:08 [1] 12.57 km (2:43 / km) +58m 2:39 / km

HFW. Annoying head-breeze all the way. Also not motivated to put much effort in.

7 AM

Bike - Road 32:17 [2] 12.98 km (2:29 / km) +25m 2:28 / km

IW. A couple of seriously icy patches in Haley Park and Blackwier Fields, but otherwise warm and a nice morning. Very glad I opted to avoid these areas yesterday.

5 PM

Bike - Road 31:49 12.46 km (2:33 / km) +55m 2:30 / km

HFW. Working quite hard in a gentle headwind. Got nothing to show for all the effort.

6 PM

Run - Trail 1:05:00 9.55 km (6:48 / km) +381m 5:40 / km
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2017 (blue)

MDC run in Cwmcarn. Fecking watch didn't start again after pausing it. Felt surprisingly good on the steep climb but otherwise a bit of DOMS from yesterdays roads and the endurance was suffering.

7 AM

Run - Road 55:37 [2] 10.62 km (5:14 / km) +53m 5:07 / km
shoes: Asics trail (orange)

IW. Home to find more snow and freezing temperatures, though on a slightly different scale. However, wasn't willing to risk cycling so opted for tarmac pounding instead. Glad I didn't cycle, lots of very slippery pavements, but running was grand - shame the route isn't more interesting as the running itself is fine.

6 PM

Run - Road 55:42 10.83 km (5:09 / km) +76m 4:58 / km
shoes: Asics trail (orange)

HFW after P2C and dinner. Thought I was moving a bit quicker than this morning but the clock says otherwise (I did eat a lot though). Most of the ice gone, biking should be on the books tomorrow. Legs starting to suffer from the tarmac by the end.
