Event: Pontypool Park

9 AM

Run - Terrain 3:00:48 [2] 21.83 km (8:17 / km) +1233m 6:28 / km
weight:66.4kg shoes: Jalas 2012

An off trail route (mostly) with Ake around the eastern Beacons, mostly because I haven't explored that way very much yet. Ground was amazingly dry and the hills were pretty much empty (didn't see anyone until Fan y Big). Nice and mild with a cool breeze made lovely running conditions and it was all rather enjoyable. Pretty slow pace as we were both a bit tired. Also ran with a (light) bag for some MM prep as I haven't done in many a while. Nice day out.

weight:71kg shoes: VJ Falcons 11

Easy run around Llangynidr getting a bit of an idea for Croeso planning (Day 4 moved to here due to birds). Despite it being a stunning day i wasn't feeling it and just plodded around - going to be a major issue getting a junior course in here. Found the Chartists Cave (accidentally) for the first time.

Bike - Road 33:14 [2] 13.06 km (2:33 / km) +38m 2:30 / km

HFW. Tyre flat again and not wanting to be pumped up this time so had to change the tube. People everywhere on the Taff Trail, including in the river. Grass cut #3 of the season.

HFW. Flat tire, pumped it up and notice some very lose spokes, so took it very easy. Lovely evening.

7 AM

Bike - Road 33:24 [2] 13.1 km (2:33 / km) +38m 2:31 / km

HFW. Just about dry when I left work. That lasted a good seconds. Proper wet for the next 15 minutes before clearing as I approached TW (unusual). Quite damp upon competition.

7 AM

Bike - Road 30:45 [2] 13.05 km (2:21 / km) +39m 2:19 / km

IW. Weather warning for rain. It was dry. Lovely still morning in fact with just a hint of moisture in the air.

5 PM

Bike - Road 29:29 [3] 12.85 km (2:18 / km) +47m 2:15 / km

HFW. The promised deluge still yet to arrive, a slightly stronger hint of moisture than this morning but still mild and calm.

6 PM

Run - Trail 1:00:21 [3] 9.01 km (6:42 / km) +286m 5:47 / km
shoes: La Sportiva Crosslite (4)

MDC run from Penderyn. The promised floods appear to have put people off as there were only 8 of us this evening. Shame as it turned out to be a lovely run in great conditions. Explored the silica mine near Pontneddfechan which was cool inside and very strange to come out of to warm humidity, almost like being in the tropics! Enjoyed this a lot and was glad of the easy pace.

7 AM

Bike - Road 35:01 [1] 13.16 km (2:40 / km) +27m 2:38 / km

IW. Fat tummy from eating too much too late last night. Also a wind. Very slow. Almost ran over a squirrel.

5 PM

Bike - Road 33:46 [3] 14.41 km (2:21 / km) +57m 2:18 / km

HFW via P2C. Pissing rain for the first bit but quite nice later on, though pretty muggy. That atmospheric kind of weather when mist just hangs in the air and nothing moves. Feeling really good rather oddly.
