Trails

Just another trail session on the edge of the Moors. Gorgeous.

OK....

OK, so picking the hottest day of the week to do my long run, was probably not the brightest idea. An extra stop at a well known fast food restaurant, for air conditioning and fluids, helped a huge amount. At least the thunderstorms stayed away..

Next race....

Looking towards the next race - about six months away. I have given myself some breathing space and preparation time, in the lead up to the Spine. This event is massive:like the MDS, way way bigger than me. But try I will.
Looking at past images of competitors battling through blizzards in Scotland, makes me think no way no way no way - impossible. Surely that tracking device will mean that someone somewhere somehow, will be able to find me.

So, thoughts turn to kit. A sleeping bag for the desert nights is not going to cut it. Plus, let's face it, I was still cold despite being in the Sahara. So, a new sleeping bag. Unfortunately it feels as big as a house - or at least a hamster cage. Definitely time for more weight training in a bid to at least lift the thing.

Hey now....

'Hey now it's the sun, and it makes me smile...'...(Polyphonic Spree)

Hill work in the hot sun. Who couldn't love this.
