Morning all 3.8K swum, on a 3K course, shameful, and 12 miles run. What a glorious day out there. Enjoy the swimming, biking, marshalling and athletics watching and good luck Emmy with the marathons.
so hot and humid today I really struggled, but I covered 6 miles
great NW today - a hawk on the path right in front of me with a dead pigeon in its grip, It couldn't manage to take off with the pigeon though, had a few attempts and left without it.
afternoon all - 4 hours on the bike, no battery in the Garmin so no idea how far, but a trip up Box Hill for fun. NW and DW in one MC. It was really humid this morning but a bit of rain seems to have brought back a nice day. Boyska's scooter?? This needs pictures Emmy!
Sounds like Garmin is having an off day generally... mine was flat this morning and not enough juice in my phone to run Strava! Anyway, estimated about 10m run and you're right Kate, it was hot and sticky out there.
rest day for me, but it is a lovely morning and we have lost the humidity and mugginess so a shame really!
another end of term concert to attend tonight yesterdays were brilliant but tonight's is at my eldest's school and will be long and painful I think!! I don't suppose it is the done thing to slip out after your own child has played, is it??
Finished the weekend with a cheeky beach marathon. Boy - did i underestimate it! The first 10k was just spent trying to work out how to run on the sand without getting my feet soaked.
It was a really small marathon.. but somehow i managed to come in as first lady!
wow, emmy well done how are your legs after the sand running?
well, son was only playing in the first half of the concert so we left at the interval
4 miles this morning with some faster intervals
sports day today so all afternoon will be spent on the field, I have come armed with sun cream and water. Then I am going to attempt to get my wetsuit on over the sticky sun cream and go lake swimming!
Morning all - 2K swim this morning, definitely much darker in the mornings already. Bike and run last night, and track tonight, so much NOC it's getting out of control. Nice to see the bread is being delivered birky. Have fun at sports day MC.
Birky - dont worry. I was up at 5 this morning and still feel utterly rubbish. Heart rate spiked to 211 so not sure if it was an anomaly in my HRM or my heart rate did go that high?
Kate - There should be a few videos on facebook but this is the scooter.
Morning all - normal SOC business resumed, turbo, run and swim. NW 1 cat 2 magpies OR 2. Aha, I had visions of the dog on a scooter, cutting up pedestrians with a flashing pair of heelies on for some reason, thanks for clearing that up Emmy. Off to Somerset House tonight to see Franz Ferdinand, not my favourite band but a beautiful place to spend a sunny evening.
Good news story for this morning. Went out at 5am (dawn for me) looking for a friendly stray dog who I have been trying to 'help' for over a week. I fed him scraps most days but for the last week when I have seen him he obviously has a broken leg but I have only been able to find him when I can't get a vet or animal rescue to come out. Came back to my apartment at 7am to find him outside! Anyway, after 5 hours of knashing and sedation (both for me), Haggis is now with a nice vet who is trying to save him and his leg. I will sleep tonight, enjoy a beer and I'm NOT running tomorrow morning!!
Morning all - 12.30 to bed, so was lazy this morning and didn't get up until 5.15 so nothing this morning, I'm in the lazy club. Nice rescue work Moomkin. Enjoy the relay today birky. I shall be NOCing later to punish my laziness.
moomkin - how lovely of you to sort the dog out. Hope he makes a full recovery
ran just 2 miles yesterday, I am having trouble sleeping so didn't bother getting up early enough to run today. Will tomorrow whether I sleep or not I think, my waist is expanding too much!
open water swimming after school tonight - it is a bit of a long drive to get there but I am aiming on leaving school on the bell!

Hi all!
i got to meet up with 5.30 yesterday for the ranscombe challenge in Kent. A lovely day out but a much tougher course than I expected.

maths- what a great NW!!
kate - sounds like a long swim!

Morning Kate: Yeah I wakened at 6am and thought just 5 more minutes ! Then it was 6.50 on the clock.
