No races over Christmas, but some progress made in the struggle to regain fitness. Had two good outings in Snowdonia - one from Aber over Llwytmor, Foel Fras, Drosgl and the other northern hills in lowish cloud. Another with Rich C in a superb cloud inversion over Pen yr Olau Wen, Dafydd and Llewellyn on Christmas Eve. We started in Ogwen's freezing fog but soon broke through the cloud into warm sunshine and un-naturally still conditions. A sea of cloud stretched inland with a few breaks, but unbroken and very impressive over the Irish sea and in Nant Ffrancon. A memorable round of these hills, which I have done dozens of times. Also managed one dash around the red MTB circuit and Llandegla, and a cold and wet trip round the Marin MTB trail at Llanrwst with Rich on 30 Dec. My suspension has now completely gone, so this made life rather tricky on both occasions. Running is going reasonably well - a better intervals session this week but niggling hamstring pain hampering progress. We are moving out of our house this weekend, so some additional stress.
