So, as you may have seen yesterday me and Stumpy did Skyline at Afan again, cutting our time taken by 40%.
Remarkably i was vastly better at the end of it, not nearly as tired and could have probably done it again if i had to (which is handy as in Sept i DO have to).
our overall speed was obviously considerably higher, with little/no breaks apart from me waiting for him on a few climbs.
Any thoughts on it being easier at your own normal pace ? than going slow and pacing a mate ? Other time we did Skyline i was running the same pace as one of the other boys as it's a social thing as much as anything.
It's giving me a fair few things to ponder for the Afan Monster in Sept.
Do i run my own pace and miss out riding with the lads ?
Do i run hard and see if i can get to the checkpoint for the 100km ?
If there is a number on the bike and you're being timed it's a race!
I did one recently with some friends, after 10mins I got bored at riding their pace and headded off alone, came 6th! If only I pushed from the start line!
p.s see you at the monster!
