CSC qualifier, Haytor, sunny day (!). Blue Men ; an easy short course, Blue women was 7km!!!! Clive started 5 mins after me but luckily the course was generally easy enough that my mistakes (2 x 30 secs, maybe another 20 seconds later) were insufficient or him to catch me. Plus he made a cock up somewhere where mine was lessor. Running quite hard all the way, esp up the hills, and flat out on the paths at the end. Why didn't I feel like this at the S Champs 3 weeks ago ? Clive 42:19, me 2nd, BOK scraped thru from DEVON (we lost a few juniors to half term etc).

Great to see Sloanranger running so well on Short brown - winning it! Nice one.
Feel very fit!

Esay run to ASDA to buy print cartridges. L inner soleus / heel / "calf" a bit niggly. It was the RHS one last week. Hmm. Generally OK tho.

Travel back from sunny hot Tenerife to Bristol. which is ghastly. At least house hadn't blown down.

Sport climbing in Arico gorge upper all day really, hot & fun, some silly routes, some great ones, did about 8 or 9 pitches up to 6a, including a 3-star route on huge jugs in the sun. Awesome day. Injured finger a problem, but tried to just use 9 digits.... it's possible.... grade drops as a result tho. Loving Tenerife.

Spent pretty much the whole day in the terrace sunbathing. Even had a beer with lunch. Liz & I reckoned this to be the laziest day of the year. Suncream on all over. Read crappy mags & the Daily Mail. Slob out!
Easy 20 min jog later - felt very relaxed.... in the sun in my hot weather running gear. Then a BBQ, & more beers Oh yes! :)

Started at 7am tried to walk up Teide (3718m), failed but got the Pic Viejo at 3134m which was awesome. Lost our way in the lava fields at one point. Altitude having an effect, plus the intense sunshine. Great day out - got up 5am! yay. Back at car 4:30pm. Both knackered - knees sore.

Relaxing morning, then drove to Los Gigantes in the afternoon, impressive place! No exercise.
