Up to Mountain Ranch to spectate at the Wlelh MTB champs. Very stiff getting going and didn't exactly get speedy. Very humid - sweating for ages after running even though I was hardly moving.

Back from Mountain Ranch. Nice to watch something different and the track looked like it had some fun bits. Excellent ride from Clare to finish second.

Bike - Gravel 33:13 12.33 km (2:42 / km) +19m 2:40 / km
ahr:127 max:145

Down to Central Station to meet Mark. Brakes got worse and worse - to the point I was considering going home.

Bike - Gravel 4:27:40 71.22 km (3:45 / km) +1243m 3:27 / km
ahr:127 max:165

Really good gravel ride with Mark from Bridgend via Afan and a couple of hills. Had to stop to force my callipers apart shortly after starting, which improved things immensely, but kept use of the brakes as light as I could. This worked until we got to the Afan Mtb trails. Found a fun blue route to descend, which wasn't to bad on hard bald tyres and no suspension - fixed brakes and less tyre pressure and it was have been epic. Missed the Afan cafe but fortunately found a great pub in the old station in Cymmer.

Big climb after a big meal on a very unofficial but very nice track up to the top of Werfa windfarm. Some easy roads and another climb over to Clydach where the descent was not gravel bike friendly -very rocky track. Easy ride back from there along the cycle trails with a couple of more stops to release my front brakes. Excellent day out.

Bike - Gravel 12:23 4.37 km (2:50 / km) +3m 2:49 / km
ahr:120 max:134

Up to climbing on the gravel bike - checking to see how good/bad the brake rub is.

7 PM

Climbing 40:00 [3]
(injured)

Spot with Matt W. Not as bad as I had feared, but upper body and hand strength still pretty rubbish. Nice to catch up with matt after quite a while.

8 PM

Bike - Gravel 12:05 4.36 km (2:46 / km)
ahr:115 max:128

Back from climbing. Had lights but no high viz - completely out of practice for cycling in the dark. Brakes seem okay.

Run - Trail 1:11:10 11.26 km (6:19 / km) +333m 5:31 / km
ahr:143 max:180 shoes: Salomon Trailster 2

Hills in Castell Coch with Mark and Rcro. Was sent to the cleaner by both of them but was also a whole lot better than the past couple of sessions, and although I wasn't moving very quickly, I was at least moving well. As a result I enjoyed this a lot more! Barriers gone up all over the higher bit of the woods so the removal of the rest of the larch must be starting soon.

Note

Usual mid-week motivation slump to get out, justified to myself by wanting to give my quads a rest after yesterday.

Run - Trail 1:05:56 10.64 km (6:12 / km) +309m 5:25 / km
ahr:138 max:172 shoes: Salomon Fellraiser 20 (orange)

MDC run on Mynydd Eglwysilan. Amazing evening and stunning sunset, made it a joy to be out. Legs took ages to loosen out (maybe 40 minutes0 but then had a good spell where I actually felt good running, which hasn't happened for a few week. Hope that that's the extra massage working.

Pilates 1:00:04 0.83 km (1:12:22 / km)
ahr:67 max:122

Eventually got my act together and joined FVO pilates/circuits again. Not as hard as I was expecting but I'm sure that I'll be a little achy tomorrow.
