Bike - Road 2:56:05 intensity: (20:00 @1) + (1:30:00 @2) + (50:00 @3) + (16:05 @4) 67.97 km (2:35 / km) +1152m 2:23 / km

With Andy from Blaenau Ffestiniog, over to Betws-T-Coed, up to Capel Curig and then down towards Beddgelert. Legs not as tired as I thought they may be but was still very happy to tuck in behind Andy for post of it, especially into the headwind out of Capel Curaig. Some love little lanes as well and smashing scenery just about everywhere. Actually really enjoyed it.

East trot over to the start and then checking out the first section of road. Not feeling too bad and another absolute stunner of a day.

Ras y Moelwyn.
This was great, helped by the amazing weather and the views from the tops but also a really fun route and amazing terrain. Most the climbs were on good trails but the downs were soft and boggy (even in this weather). Bit of a trek in and out of the town for the start and finish but overall the course was just really nice.

Started, as traditional, quite slowly and was passed by a few on the flat run out and past the lake, however got all those places back when it got steep, up to second where I stayed for the rest of the race. Third got close a few times, especially on the downhills (which I was taking easy) bit got away each time on the next up. Pushed a bit harder on the last descent and could see the leader taking a bad line, but never got closer than a about a minute.

Great day out and my legs felt pretty good, not even all that tired at the end - guess that's the advantage of doing fell races more regularly. Will have to encourage a few more MDC members up to do this next year.

Nice and easy bog trot from Toni and Andy's new place in Snowdonia, with Toni. Fascinating place to explore and a great place to run, lovely hills, lakes, rocks, mines (explored 3 adits) and ruins. Going to enjoy visiting here - must stay in their good books :-) .

7 PM

Climbing 45:00 [1]

At Spot with rcro, Ben and Ened. Not very successful this evening for me, failed on quite a few routes that I've managed in the past. Still manged to get a good work out done though.

MDc run from Mark and Alice's. Many out and two good sized groups. Legs still feeling the weekend so happy to sit in the middle of the faster group. Put a bit more effort in on the climbs but it was rather pathetic really. Amazing evening to be out as clear and sunny. Also great food and company after - the evening went far too quick and didn't get chance to catch up with half the people (also the first time that I've been to an MDC members dinner and not overeaten!).
