Event: Wentwood MTBO Score

5 PM

Run - Trail 1:27:04 12.14 km (7:10 / km) +553m 5:51 / km
ahr:133 max:169 shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2018 (blk)

Explore of Barry Sidings to see if it's worth mapping. Tricky one, just under half the forest is pretty nice with some nice features, the rest is dense, but the problem is that it's bloody steep. Properly steep. Quite enjoyed the hills today (lots of mountain bike tracks - difficult descending them on foot, can't comprehend doing them on a bike). Completely ran out of energy towards the end and back still very sore - quite a bit more so afterwards. Very muggy again.

Run - Trail 43:02 6.93 km (6:13 / km) +230m 5:20 / km
ahr:139 max:170 shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2018 (blk)

Short loop around Rudry Mountain - hardly ever run here as so many equally good trails closer. Super muggy. First outing for new watch (as last one both broke a strap and a charging cable within two days).

Bike - Road 34:13 [1] 13.05 km (2:37 / km) +25m 2:36 / km

5 PM

Bike - Road 32:47 [1] 12.63 km (2:36 / km) +61m 2:32 / km

HFW. Luckily managed to miss the downpours. Lots of water everywhere. Taking it very easy.

7 PM

Climbing 45:00 [1]

At Spot with MarkP. Not all that strong but enjoyed the climbing, knocked off a couple of routes that I wasn't expecting to be able to do.

7 AM

Bike - Road 34:06 12.95 km (2:38 / km) +42m 2:35 / km

IW. Getting a bit fed up with the wind, it seems to specialise in working against me when the weather is good.

5 PM

Bike - Road 33:23 12.73 km (2:37 / km) +59m 2:34 / km

HFW. From observations I had identified three categories of drivers which are the worst in giving cyclists (or at least me) space:
White van drivers
Very old blokes
Young ladies in posing cars (minis etc.)

Event: SOS Summer Series 1

7 AM

Bike - Road 32:02 [2] 12.96 km (2:28 / km) +41m 2:26 / km

IW. Yet more sun (and the usual morning headwind).

5 PM

Bike - Road 33:00 [2] 10.52 km (3:08 / km) +42m 3:04 / km

HFW. Had sen police officers at Radyr weir the last two evenings and wondered why they were about. This evening I found out why. Local teenagers have taken to jumping off the roof of the storage shed into the channel to the hydro turbine. Probably not all that bright a thing to do and also probably not considered when the risk assessment was done.

6 PM

Run - Trail warm up/down 12:00 2.05 km (5:51 / km) +30m 5:27 / km
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2017 (blue)

Still shuffle to get the body moving, feeling much better for having done this.

Run - Orienteering race 33:17 6.59 km (5:03 / km) +103m 4:41 / km
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2017 (blue)

Porthkerry SWOC Park Series.
Thought I was going to suffer a lot on this but actually quite enjoyed it, hills were a struggle though. Also made a 5 minute parallel error... Had given up assuming the control was missing and was heading to the next one, until I found a later control on the way there... Partly due to the map being very out-of-date, but still pretty useless on my behalf. Lovely and warm evening.

7 AM

Bike - Road 31:01 [2] 12.92 km (2:24 / km) +48m 2:21 / km

IW. Busy this morning, but sun was out (as was the traditional headwind).

5 PM

Bike - Road 30:03 12.86 km (2:20 / km) +59m 2:17 / km

HFW. Charged by both a dog and a white van driver. The owner of the the former should have known better whereas the latter just a knob and assumed he had priority over cyclists.

6 PM

Run - Trail 1:08:00 11.23 km (6:03 / km) +443m 5:03 / km
shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 2018 (blk)

MDC run up Machen from Sirhowy. Not one of my top routes (scheduled thinking I may be on holiday this week - wish I was!) but really enjoyed the run. Gorgeous evening. Only one group which meant that there was a LOT of waiting, but it did turn it into more of a fartlek session and had 5-6 good efforts thrown in.

Monday May 21, 2018 #

7 AM

Bike - Road 32:43 [2] 12.98 km (2:31 / km) +42m 2:29 / km

IW. Surface repairs on the lane down to Iron Bridge finished, big improvement.

5 PM

Bike - Road 33:19 [2] 12.93 km (2:35 / km) +61m 2:31 / km

HFW. Stopped to people watch for a while at Blackwier as it was such a lovely evening. Loads out enjoying the lovely mild evening - saw a PB of 118 cyclists (though I don't know if this can be ratified as I took a slightly different route and split the trip...)
