Climb up the Tryvan. The most scrambl-y of all the hikes we did. At the top are Adam and Eve, two oddly shaped rocks that have flat tops, they're almost close enough to jump across, but the fact that there's like a 20 foot drop on one side with a square metre landing before a 500 foot drop. So, you fall off the rock, smash on one edge, then roll off and, you know, die.

So, while I had initially planned on doing it, I got up there, said I was going to, and then Paul made me wait until the camera was ready, and standing up there for several minutes made me face my mortality, and it a pansied out. I'm ashamed, I know. It was also very windy, and I'm sure visibility wasn't 100% too. Yep, it was the weather, nothing to do with me at all.

Hiking in Snowdonia National Park, across the Grib Goch, up Snowdonia, and etc. Called the Snowdonia Horseshoe. Ran the flats, hiked the climbs pretty darn fast.

I wouldn't necessarily say it counts and "training" per se, though.

Cruise workout, 10-25-20. The 25 minute was a tempo run, and was very pleasant. I should consider doing them more often in every run.

War Memorial Sprint. Also didn't feel fast, but that could have been the monsoon I was running in. Made some silly mistakes going out of controls too, because I can't seem to react fast enough to changes in direction in and out control. Going to need to devise some sort of strategy to that. Do you approach the control already planning the next one and risk not finding it in the first place? Always my debate.

A very light run to go buy my new piece of junk bike. Its pretty bad, but it was cheap, and it rolls, and it stops, so, score! No more walking everywhere, and can make it to the bigger supermarkets faster. Time to track down the last few ingredients of nanaimo bars.

A very pleasant little unintentional barefoot run. Was going to take the day off, but, what the heck, I was bored. My calves were not happy, though.
