Walking near Betws-y-Coed with Pippa.

Running first leg of Paddy Buckley Round in Snowdonia. Starting at Capel Curig, Moel Siabod, Moelwyns, Cnicht and finishing at Nantmor car park. Jim was going for the whole thing, I was just helping out on first leg. Fairly miserable weather, a bit windy and wet, although the worst was maybe the rain over the previous days meaning the bogs were very wet. I felt tired, having been ill with cold for a week and a half, and Jim was leading the way most of the time (but then he knew were all the trods were having recced it). He eventually pulled away up Cnicht, and disappeared into the mist, and finished 10 mins before me.

Steady run in the woods. Aching a bit from last night.

DFR - warm up

DFR Andy'cap plus warm-down. Feeling a bit rough as first run out after being ill. But only 10s slower than last time I did this a year ago, and I think I was pushing quite hard then, so I'm fairly happy.
