On Thursday evening I finished the @spinerace.bsky.social Challenger North. The finest event that I have ever entered and the lows were low and the highs incredibly high. On life you regret what you didn't do, so if you're thinking of doing the event, prepare and DO IT!

I've done my fair share of LDWA 100 mile events. Indeed, I've completed 22 but they're always in the summer.
LDWA community loves the @spinerace.bsky.social race and having dot watched for yrs and cheered on the entrants, I thought it was time to give it a go. So, Challenger North it is!!

It's only matter of time now before what will be known as the western democracies, are beholden to and governed by very right of centre parties. If lies are now to be alternative facts and truth a mere pebble on a beach, then we should simply brace ourselves.

The most worrying aspect of the #montanespinerace is surely the kit check. I've checked, unpacked, packed and unpacked several times now. 🤞 all will be fine.

Elon Musk is starting to risk getting Jess Phillips killed. She's been safeguarding minister for six months. She oversaw nothing relating to the rape gangs. As an opposition MP she was one of the most prominent campaigners for the victims.
What he's doing is a travesty.

More satisfying voluntary work in South Monmouthshire has seen a new gate installed near Mathern. This will now facilitate access to the footpaths to the north of the M48.
Chepstow Walkers Are Welcome have a great team of volunteers and enjoy working with Mon Life.

If a foreign national who is closely connected with a soon to be governing administration says that politics in the UK needs reforming and is willing to donate a huge sum of money, is that not state interference?
It certainly would be if it was Putin or Xi for example.

Farage said “Money was discussed. We are in negotiations about whether he can help. He is fully behind this. He is motivated enough by what’s going on in Britain to give serious thought to giving money”
All donations that originate from abroad should be banned

Last week I asked running folks about hydration and the vast majority said they run with some kind of fluid regime. For some it was timed sips, for others, an hourly volume.
Aside perhaps, from very chilly winter races, drinking to a regime may cause problems.
