Christleton 5k, South Stack

Dipped under 19 mins in the Chrisleton 5k, which was quite pleasing (18:56). Not really my kind of distance - bit too intense for my tastes with little time to think about tactics or anything else. A 10 mile run around Gwernaffield and up to Rhosesmor on Sunday morning was a tranquil antidote - not too muddy underfoot, sun peeping through, dozens of willow warbler and blackcap to serenade. Followed by a family trip to South Stack in low cloud, icy wind and heavy drizzle. The usual thousands of guillemot, along with razorbills in the sea, a few puffin visible on the lighthouse side and one chough - which Morgan managed to spot. Short bike ride in the evening damp, when the rain had finally stopped.
