RE: December 2012
I'd slated a quick-as-you-like thrash to Blackcap today. Within minutes my plan lay in tatters, or should that be splatters. Mud, wind and relentless rain conspired to cool my eager jets. What's more the wind came out of the west, driving straight into my face on the tough uphill sections. Speed was not an option.

Plan B turned out to be a slow slog out to Ditchling, a ten mile round trip with the added bonus of a tailwind for the trip home. Muddy pools lay like bear traps along the slippery downland trail. I spent as much energy dodging those as I did fighting the headwind and lifting my mud-coated Mizunos.

   

10.01 miles in 1 hour 39 minutes.
Track du jour: Lazy, Deep Purple.
RIP Jon Lord.

The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
