Cycling (MTB) 30:01 6.89 km (13.8 kph) +88m
ahr:113 max:135 shoes: Specialized Rock Hopper AFS
MTB from Linn of Dee, past Derry Lodge, to start of run. Easy pace.
My old banger Rock Hopper AFS, purchased from the bike shop in Aizu-Wakamatsu, Japan, where I lived for a year in 1997, is still going strong. The forks went a decade ago but it still keeps rolling along - a bit like its owner. TRIMP 25.4.
Using the wrist-based HR sensor, so readings are a bit wonky.

Running (Hills) 2:35:01 18.79 km (8:15 / km) +839m 6:45 / km
ahr:143 max:164 shoes: Hoka Mafate 4
Cheeky Munro bag, #275 - Beinn Mheadhoin, slap bang in the middle of the Cairngorms. 2h25 running time.
I was supposed to be away on my annual old farts motorbike weekend, but one of my geriatic co-bikers came down with a UTI (it'll be arthritis next) so I ended up with an unexpectedly free weekend. Since Beccy hadn't lined any duties up for me, I was given a last minute pass for the day, which I duly grabbed, albeit too late to try for the 4 north of Ben Alder. So off it was to the Linn of Dee to bag my last Cairngorm, the one slap bang in the middle and a git to get to from any direction.
Cycling in helped keep the time on my feet sensible, but it was still a fair old run, so I set a very easy pace. The path lower down the valley was smooth going, but things got rockier the closer I got to the hill and mins/km suffered accordingly. That said, I was pleased to be able to "run" all the way bar the steep wee pull up from Loch Etchachan. It was a warm (22C) and muggy day, so I sweated buckets, and only had my lunch at 3:30, at the top - whoops. Maybe that's partly why I was flagging a little by the time I got back to the bike. The Hoka Mafates were great, although both my foot pads were pretty hot and sore after 15km.
Nine to go!! TRIMP 300.3.
