Ras y Moelwyn 2015 (and more)

I did a recce of the Ras y Moelwyn route five years ago; it took me almost 3½ hours and I walked quite a lot of it. Thankfully, Saturday’s performance was a bit better.

[insert snow-related pun]

Christmas and New Year have, despite my best intentions, been relatively running-free. It was therefore with eagerness (and a hint of guilt at my seasonal excesses) that I set off onto the Glyders a few days ago.

Tryfan Triathlon Twist

So I’m fairly sure we can still call it a triathlon if the sports are running, walking and swimming, right?

Ascension

With a great forecast all week, I was almost bursting with excitement last Friday in anticipation of a weekend in Snowdonia.

Looking good!

The Internet is a Liar

The weekend before last I ran off to Snowdonia. Several parts of the Internets told me that there was snow, and a good forecast for the Saturday morning. I got up at 06:30, excited at the thought of a lovely snowy ridge run under blue skies.
