Note
(rest day)

Had to get out for a wee walk just to do something. Think I'm probably ready for a normal week or activity now.

Note

Maps with my GPS route added below:
Glen Affric WOC Long Part 1
Glen Affric WOC Long Part 2
Amazing how accurate the maps are to the GPS, hardly anything to edit. Good to have the GPS to see exactly what I did at #25 as well!
10 AM

Walk 30:00 [1] 2.8 km (10:43 / km) +440m 6:00 / km
(rest day) shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite (4)

Walk up Corn Ddu to marshal on the Beacons Race. Easy walking up the massive track and a lovely morning, however the mist came down as I hit the summit and had quite a chilly wait for the runners (mist had cleared by then though).

Fell runners are a well brought up crowd with just about all of them saying "thanks marshal" - just a shame that my name wasn't Marshall really.

Masses of plebs on the hills, well just this one and Pen y Fan actually, passed 350 people on my way down alone (and easily another 150 on the summit at that time. Thankfully they don't venture any further than this and it's easy to get away from them all.

Note
(rest day)

A proper rest day. Don't know why my body is so tired, I only did one real day of exercise last week and this week has all been very low intensity. Still, what the body wants the body will get.

IW. Expecting biblical rain. It was dry.

Bike - Road 33:38 [2]

HFW. Expecting even more biblical rain. Dry all day. Rain due from the south and was cycling into a northerly all the way home, maybe that's why the rain never turned up.

Pwll Ddu, 60min Score. Incredibly stunning evening, a pleasure to be out in the hills, unfortunately my legs didn't want to be there. Jogged around going to the areas that I didn't know as there was no way that I was going to get anything like all the controls. Very enjoyable.

7 AM

Bike - Road 30:56 [2] 13.11 km (2:22 / km) +40m 2:19 / km

IW. A bit more energetic than yesterday. Only a bit mind.
5 PM

Bike - Road 29:33 [3] 13.09 km (2:15 / km) +47m 2:13 / km

HFW. Legs wanted to go but as soon as they tried they realised that they weren't able. Must have had a bit of a following wind as it went by quick enough.

ahr:132 max:159 shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite (4)

MDC run from Storey Arms out to the west, finishing with a good climb up Fan Fawr. Amazing evening, views for miles and miles in all directions and we had the hills virtually to ourselves (aside from a dad and his two wee kids who had set up a wild camp in the middle of nowhere). Body still really tired but this is the type of run that's good for the sou.

7 AM

Bike - Road 32:26 [2] 13.02 km (2:29 / km) +41m 2:27 / km

IW. Very slow as feeling very tired. Pissing rain - It wasn't hard to think of somewhere that I'd rather be.
5 PM

Bike - Road 33:53 [2] 12.93 km (2:37 / km) +67m 2:33 / km

HFW. Very slowly again, wishing I was somewhere else. Hate post holiday/WOC/orienteering/friends blues.
