Mtn Bike 1:45:00 [3] 25.0 km (4:12 / km) +300m 3:58 / km
Leisurely with T down to the DW then all the way to DAP for a coffee...tempted to bang on a local door for an extra one, but didn't in the end :-). Back the same way as far as Potties then took the track over the hill. Fun.

Deeside Runners - Glen Tanar
Lovely evening sunset and great for reacquainting myself with this session.
2 x 4 mins, 2 X 3, 2 X 2, 3 X 1 round the back of Baudy Meg. Tough as ever.
Smaller numbers tonight but nice group of ladies keeping me company towards the back..KH, A, JG, EC, and ANOther.
Glad I decided to make the effort...nearly didn't.

Trail / Road Run 40:00 [3] 6.0 km (6:40 / km) +55m 6:22 / km
shoes: Mudclaw 300 b/r
Parked in Barrowford.
With T up road to the L&L. Along the canal past the locks as far as the tunnel. No footpath alongside canal in there so headed back but looped around the reservoir on return journey. Nice bit of canal. A lot of unspoilt places tucked away round here.

In the fields by Pendleton.
Trail / Terrain Run 47:52 [3] 7.3 km (6:33 / km) +425m 5:05 / km
shoes: Mudclaw 300 b/r
Pendleton Fell Race after spending a good part of the morning tracking D, CH and MS in the Matterhorn Ultraks. Some race.
Rough and tussocky once out of the fields. Struggled up the first hill, but reeled in a lot of folk from then on.
Maybe 2nd V60, finished just behind 3rd lady.
Great setting for a fell race - picturesque village, great pub and a stream running down the main street for washing in. Lovely weather too. Glad to have not opted for the Pendle parkrun alternative.

Note
In all the races this year I've been overtaking loads of folk on the downhills but it's always playing catch up after a poor ascent. Maybe that's just what ageing does for you. Somewhat frustrating but what the heck..it's still fun. Nice to be slotting in a lot of races that I've not done before too. That's at least four new ones since mid June.

Local wanderings up the back. Noted the refurbished track in Potties. Not a very useful one. Felt knackered for some reason.
Note
