Event: NGOC League 6
11 AM
Running - off road (Black Mountains) 2:59:48 [3] 22.04 km (8:09 / km) +770m 6:57 / km
slept:3.0 weight:73.5kg (sick) shoes: inov8 Mudclaw300 Dayglo/Blk
Did beat myself up a bit in the end. On the plus side, do seem to be losing weight again and I think today the lightest I've been this year.
Out in the Black Mountains with Ben - with the aim to be getting Ben practice with navigating - but that's quite hard to test when it's all clearly defined linear ridges, but did get him to think a bit. Will need to take him out orienteering for a proper test.
Up through the woods and along the ridge Pen Twyn Mawr, PYGF and Waun Fach - moving a lot more quickly uphill then we did down last time here when it was waist deep snow. At Waun Fach became obvious the loop would be a couple of k further than we thought so cut short from there and got an explore of the east side, which was nice if a little/lot rough.
Back along ridge by Llanthony and showed Ben the right way down for the BM race. The stream wasn't so nice today and had most of a dead horse in it.
Picked the direction so the climbs would not be severe and able to run within my means without overdoing it - and we ran all the way to Waun Fach (when moving). If anything, I was the stronger along the last ridge as hadn't tired significantly and still able to jog the hills. Fairly soft underfoot so shouldn't have caused much impact on joints but starting to notice things after Bal Mawr.

Hopefully will be able to sleep tonight :-)
Still have to find a GP though tomorrow :-(
