ahr:125 max:140 shoes: VJ Falcons 14
To the start, completely new route to usual and quite a mixture of stuff.

ahr:148 max:170 shoes: VJ Falcons 14
SWOC Welsh League, Cwm Licky, Brown, 7.0km, 360m, 14 controls.
Second race of the year? Always tough this are as the hills are so steep, and today was no exception. Could really feel the last week in my legs (where was the last time I ran 7 days in a row???) but just about kept going. Was actually finding the downs tougher on the legs than the ups, though my quads were actually okay. Some quite easy legs and we sort of skipped the interesting bit, but at least we didn't spend too much time in the dead bracken (not enough snow this winter). Was also somewhat colder than I have become accustomed so, so ran in a thermal. Didn't spike 5 controls, lost maybe 20 seconds at #2 but the other were all in the region of 3-5 seconds. Enjoyed it, was slow, but pleased with my fitness progress.

Back to the car park. Quite a bit of up but tool it slowly so don't know why my heart rate recorded as being so high.
