7 AM

Run - Trail 1:01:32 10.24 km (6:01 / km) +306m 5:14 / km
ahr:135 max:187 shoes: Adidas Kanadia TR4

MDC Wales Coast Path Relay, Leg ?, ? to Llanrhystud, with Gary.
Wet start, plus it was straight up a steep hill, so had to walk this. Body more awake than usual at this time of the day and the route was quite enjoyable (and rarely used), not spectacular, but nice. Saw a grand fox. Properly pissing it down at the end.

11 AM

Run - Trail 37:00 5.93 km (6:14 / km) +206m 5:19 / km
ahr:129 max:147 shoes: Adidas Kanadia TR4

MDC Wales Coast Path Relay, Leg ?, Newquay to Cwmtydu, with Katie.
Steep climb at the start (Newquay was surprisingly pretty, Cwmtydu was stunning) but then a lovely path along the cliff tops. Smashing views of the sea and rocks below. Saw two seals (well one was a seal, the other was a big dark shape in the water). Cwmtydu = best place name on the path!

2 PM

Run - Trail 1:23:13 14.2 km (5:52 / km) +252m 5:23 / km
ahr:129 max:151 shoes: Adidas Kanadia TR4

MDC Wales Coast Path Relay, Leg ?, Mwnt to Cardigan, with Gary.
Cracking start to this section, nicest bit of the path that I ran; steep cliffs below and a nice path to run on, weather also improved much and visibility good. Day was made by seeing a dolphin jump out of the water.

Second part not so nice; along section of road followed by nettles through farmland. Finished by joining most of the others for the final short section to the start of the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. Very enjoyable weekend and surprisingly easy to run 3 or 4 times in day!

Run - Trail 37:31 6.69 km (5:36 / km) +38m 5:27 / km
ahr:133 max:172 shoes: Asics 1150 (2012)

MDC Wales Coast Path Relay, Leg 14, Ynys to Harlech, with Nick Dallimore. Body not liking the early start but Nick not pushing hard to comfortable enough for me.

7 AM

Run - Trail 41:38 8.82 km (4:43 / km) +9m 4:42 / km
ahr:133 max:145 shoes: Adidas Kanadia TR4

MDC Wales Coast Path Relay, Leg 17, with Katie, Llanbedr to Tal y Bont. First couple of km were really dull, on tarmac around an old airfield, then crossed a rather odd campsite full of Brummies in Millets gear, even stranger seeing them all getting up when we were on out second run of the day. Second half of the run was along a huge empty beach, very nice.

10 AM

Run - Trail 49:24 8.57 km (5:46 / km) +312m 4:53 / km
ahr:134 max:147 shoes: Adidas Kanadia TR4

MDC Wales Coast Path Relay, Leg 21, Fairbourne to Llwyngwrill, with Katie. Nicest leg of the day, steep climb up a hill through woods to a (disappointingly tarmaced) track. Beautiful views along the coast in lovely sunshine. Katie pushing hard so not much time to enjoy it!

2 PM

Run - Trail 36:00 7.1 km (5:04 / km) +283m 4:14 / km
ahr:141 max:160 shoes: Adidas Kanadia TR4

MDC Wales Coast Path Relay, Leg 27, Pennal to Gwynedd,with GD44. Gary set off flying so working quite hard for the first couple of km, things then settled down to a nice steady pace and it was only the descent towards the end (mostly on tarmac) that was hard. No coast in sight.

Run - Road 54:36 8.78 km (6:13 / km) +286m 5:21 / km
ahr:129 max:172 shoes: Asics 1150 (2012)

Easy run with Alan from his cottage in Soar, mostly on roads but a bit on tracks and some exploring across fields. Happy that I managed to talk myself into going out this evening, especially in such a beautiful bit of the country.

7 AM

Bike - Road 31:22 [2] 12.98 km (2:25 / km) +36m 2:23 / km

IW. Nice and easy. Cold again. Nothing more exciting than that to report.

5 PM

Bike - Road 30:46 [2] 12.92 km (2:23 / km) +84m 2:18 / km

HFW. Took it easy and was just thinking that even when taking it very east that no one overtakes me when an old guy with grey hair in an MDC vest overtook me. No idea who it was (had more grey hair than even GD44 so it wasn't him!).

Garmin appears to have had no idea where I was for the first 6km (thought the splits were a bit odd).

6 PM

Run - Trail 44:02 6.72 km (6:33 / km) +275m 5:26 / km
shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite (4)

A quick nip (well slow actually) up the shortest mountain in Wales after a long day on site. Probably wouldn't have done this had WOC not been just around the corner but was ever so glad that I did when out. Glorious evening and had the whole place to myself. Sometimes living in Cardiff ain't so bad.

7 AM

Bike - Road 30:24 [2] 13.03 km (2:20 / km) +38m 2:18 / km

IW. Uneventful.

4 PM

Bike - Road 31:48 [2] 12.87 km (2:28 / km) +57m 2:25 / km

HFW. Uneventful. Apart from when a daughter and father cycling towards me took each other out. Big pile up, thankfully no injuries. I don't usually have that effect on people. Do I?

6 PM

Run - Trail 1:20:43 13.68 km (5:54 / km) +608m 4:50 / km
shoes: Adidas Kanadia TR4

MDC run from Katie's somewhere near Brecon. Quite a nice routeup towards Fan y Big; tough at the start up a road and then through some steep fields, but then a nice long gradual climb to the top (40+ mins of climbing). Lovely decent but talking it easy. Legs were tired but actually working quite well, pleased with that.

7 AM

Bike - Road 32:21 [2] 13.01 km (2:29 / km) +37m 2:27 / km

IW. Dull, overcast morning - much like my mood as I'd prefer to be back in Scotland.

C • Haste ye back 1

5 PM

Bike - Road 32:50 [2] 12.93 km (2:32 / km) +64m 2:29 / km

HFW. Rained all afternoon. Slippery and windy out, just like me then.
