11 AM

Road cycling 28:33 [3] 9.77 km (2:55 / km) +82m 2:48 / km
ahr:109 max:124

To ToE. Into a brief snow flurry at the start.

Running 1:15:00 [3] 10.57 km (7:06 / km) +274m 6:17 / km
ahr:121 max:162

Glen Tanar. Riverbank path to the visitor centre then up the diagonal through the trees, track above osprey and back down towards ToE again.
Foot not feeling great at the start on the track but settled a bit on the smaller path. But then my knee started hurting at the front soon followed by tendons behind the knee tightening up. Stopped to stretch everything out and should probably have turned back at this point but couldn’t bring myself to do so. Felt a bit better on the climb with a different foot placement, but the long descent from below Baudy Meg wasn’t good. Meh.
Think I worked it quite hard with the exercises last night. Will wind back again to try and let it settle better and then try again.

Road cycling 33:07 [2] 9.74 km (3:24 / km) +87m 3:15 / km
ahr:111 max:128

And home. Another blatter of snow / hail but for once I had enough kit on!

9 PM

Note

Skipping exercises tonight, except for a bit of tennis ball rolling .

Note

First Dess cuckoos today!

11 AM

Road cycling 50:00 [2] 19.56 km (2:33 / km) +181m 2:27 / km
ahr:98 max:122

Feeling uninspired. Decided it was probably because I was tired so had a bit of a recovery day. Biked along to Aboyne Loch, wandered round on foot, then up to Queens Loch and another wander there. Rain came on before I got back on the bike, so headed straight home. That was enough.

11 AM

Road cycling 36:50 [3] 11.83 km (3:07 / km) +156m 2:55 / km
ahr:117 max:148

Home to Corsedarder monument. Rain came on!

Running 1:09:44 [3] 8.71 km (8:00 / km) +243m 7:01 / km
ahr:127 max:165

Out to Craig Lash to visit my 5-mile-south point on the southern top, then a loop back through the forest. So beautiful up top - one of my favourite spots. And was rewarded with hearing my first cuckoos too. Dried up nicely for the run. Foot holding up.

Road cycling 31:19 [3] 11.91 km (2:38 / km) +102m 2:31 / km
ahr:120 max:147

And home again. Rain came back on for the last 10' or so. Attacked the DW back from Kinker as I discovered I had a top 10 strava time on the segment yesterday without trying. Managed to improve that to 3rd spot today by putting some effort in - that's unheard of for me on a bike, but then not many folk take their road bikes up there!

12 PM

Road cycling 2:00:00 [3] 38.51 km (3:07 / km) +599m 2:53 / km
ahr:117 max:143

Taking up the 5-mile from home 8 cardinal points challenge. Managed to knock off N (Collie hill just off Alford Rd), NE (milestone just past Tornaveen) and E (Glassel junction). These were some of the easy ones. Fab day again. New bike spinning nicely although legs didn’t feel great.

Wednesday May 6, 2020 #

Running 1:13:00 [2] 11.0 km (6:38 / km) +100m 6:21 / km

River bank to Bell Wood, across to Boddomend and back on the DW. Gorgeous day, first of the lupins out down by the river, sandpiper on the bank and blossom aplenty. Bit longer than planned. Walked back up the hill at end to save foot.

10 PM

Note

Another full moon and another nice night = bivvy time again. Chilly.

Road cycling 1:08:00 [3] 22.75 km (2:59 / km) +327m 2:47 / km
ahr:116 max:144

New bike - exciting times! Test run out over P'murchie, Lumphanan and then round the top Dess bowl road. Definitely got a couple of extra gears for the climb and feeling lovely and smooth. Happy days!
Feeling quite tired, so enough for today.

4 PM

Road cycling 41:20 [2] 15.42 km (2:41 / km) +120m 2:35 / km
ahr:109 max:132

A93 to LK

Running 36:00 [3] 6.02 km (5:59 / km)
ahr:125 max:153

Shortest lap of LK with J. Still running a bit oddly with left foot and getting occasional knee pain which is likely linked. Serenely peaceful on the loch.

Road cycling 43:48 [3] 15.09 km (2:54 / km) +114m 2:48 / km
ahr:108 max:122

And home. Somehow into a headwind again. Bit wobbly by the end.
