Rait Hill Run Race …. fun I think

3rd and 5th

This weekend in Rait a quick hill run. Since practising in baggers – hills have stopped to feature … but blimey this one hurt. No warm up then immediately uphill – first half of race is up second half is down. Saw the 1st guy shoot off then the second passed and disapeared … clung onto 3rd all the way although heard footsteps very close for the first 10 minutes then gradually eased away. Short 300m hill right at the finish which was very cruel … felt like barfing but luckily no-one pressing me at the end. One guy with gps said 3.2 miles (5.2km) … I though slightly longer on account of hills – WalkJogRun says less

RunMonster bike app – running app

Using RunMonster on the iPhone – quick trial taking the girls to school on the bike. Tracks very well and simple to use – has a feature where you can email the route to someone after completion … an example is below. It attaches a gpx file so they can upload the route to their GPS or app …. although wordpress drops this attachment off. Sportypal has a good viewer for gpx files.
