Run 2:05:29 [3] 18.7 km (6:43 / km) +868m 5:27 / km
shoes: Roclite 243
Central Brecon beacons loop with Hanne.
Parked at the high point and ran along edge towards Waun Rydd. Then back along and over Fan y Big Cribyn, Pen y Fan & Corn Du. Saw most of the runners along the next edge Rhiw yr Ysgyfarnog & Craig Fan Ddu. The leader - Hugh looked really comfortable, Mark was also strong. Then down to the lower dam back along cycle path and up road. Good little loop.
Much more fun then a 30k fell race. Felt a little rough early on on the first edge, sweating out the acholol from last night but generally alright. Still quite slow on the hills. Cribyn SE ridge nice & runnable though. Weather mixed, but always clear. Pen y Fan rammed, but rest not too bad. Under estimated the distance a tad, but a pretty nice loop all in all.

Crook peak cake race
Touched down at Lulsgate at 6.10 and felt alright so headed over to this fun little race starting soon after. First since 2011 I've done it!
Biggish field compared to the 2011 & 2010 when I've done it before, a real fell race in the SW.Steady up, but then some roadrunner induced traffic and quwing on the first descent, nearly stood on a dog on the way down. Caught Richard here.
Steady along, didn't seem to lose time like normal - but guess that's because I'm generally slower. Struggled up the second hill. Went for the far left track, I think in 2011 this was quicker, but not now, it's really rocky, lost time compared to people on the middle one. Then steady, and blasted away and past people on the final little down. Lots of postive encouragement from Richard. Felt quite good but a bit down on my best time of 23.15.
