Cycling long 3:22:53
Had this route planned for a while now, not too exciting so more of a mental battle/completion task. Got a bit cold when the sun wasn't out and didn't take a jacket stupidly but perked up when the way back had some tailwind and glorious sunshine. Stopped for a snack in Carnwath which was very much needed and felt better towards the end.
87.8km, 810m

Slightly longer than the planned lap of the meadows with EUOC, Lydia and Barri. Knee never got worse, but didn't really feel great either.

Thought this went quite well but earlier start time (without packs) and being a bit cautious with my knee probably [hopefully] took its toll more than I expected. Otherwise not sure why I was so far down. Really enjoyed it anyway, the top bit is my favourite piece of terrain in Deeside for sure. Smashed my compass on the way down though...

Getting there, after a chat to Andrew B's mum, I took some paracetamol and knee felt much more manageable. Was almost able to race normally again, just still feeling a bit unfit from the big break, but not as bad as Tuesday. Running style still feels a bit wonky but was happy to be able to descend down any hills painlessly today.
Lost about 90s, with 60s of that running past an almost certainly slightly out of place number 5 without checking the code because I was so sure, not blaming anyone in particular though! Caught up El Purko who gave a nice bit of pressure from behind to finish quickly and reel in a nice third place - could have been even better but I'll take that for where I am now, even with a fresher pair of legs to everyone else after wimping out yesterday. Anyway, might even finish the whole race tomorrow after today's result.

Started off promising but knee gave up half way to two and I had to bail. Gave GG some time to get away before I cut down to 4 so was surprised to see him exiting 5, turns out he'd had a bit of a mare! Found Ed at 16 and paced him to 17 before slightly savagely dropping him with his tired pair of legs and cruised into the finish just as spongey found me. WOuld have been nice to complete the course with a good pair of legs but not today. Tempted to train on the new bit of map soon, looks awesome!
