Note
slept:6.5 (rest day)

Awake early (no reason apart from desire to write a magazine article!) and still felt very tired n leg sore from the weekend so one more day wont harm me. Exciting plans in head.

Note

Felt tired from the weekend's exertions so took it easy and watched 'The Mist' - excellent low-budget horror.

Walking hills 5:20:00 [3] ** 10.0 mi (32:00 / mi) +940m 24:46 / mi

Yonked on own from farm to end of Lyn Ogwen, joined by two colleagues, straight up Pen yr Ole Wen (what a scramble!), Carnedd Dafydd, Carnedd Llewelyn and then I descended rapidly back to the farm (via the interesting mini-Striding Edge that is Bwlch Eryl Farchog). Jogged last 2k. Sweet. Showered and on road within 25 mins for the 4.5 hour drive back to Cambs.

Saturday Oct 24, 2009 #

Off-road running hills 1:06:00 [4] ** 5.0 mi (13:12 / mi) +320m 11:01 / mi

Ascent up Snowdon (fell-running style). Up the Pyg track which was a nightmare in the torrential rain and ferocious winds (gusts estimated to be over 80mph). My clothes were soaked within 20 mins and eventually abandoned above Glaslyn. Descended to the Miners and back to the car at Pen-y-pass. Need a proper mountain-running waterproof.

Running warm up/down 24:00 [1] 2.7 mi (8:53 / mi)

Easy jogging before and after the Cambridge race.

Orienteering race 39:25 [5] 6.5 km (6:04 / km)
slept:8.0

Cambridge City Race... lovely event - some good long legs with route choice and some shorter ones requiring more detailed map reading to pick up the best lines; ran pretty clean except for one 30 second error where i thought I could run up the side of a border on what looked like webbing but was denoted as grass. Did feel the effects of the stomach bug/upset and couldnt run as hard I'd like to have... but still a decent performance.

Tired after last night's Open Evening. Ran from town and managed to get threatened and abused by a dog owner who couldnt keep his young mutt under control. Great! Apart from that a gloriously chilly autumnal morning.

Running 44:35 [3] 6.5 mi (6:52 / mi)

And back from work via same route. Felt perky and ran at quite a tempo. Lovely evening and no savage dog-owners this time. Right thigh was a little tight - will need to watch this.
