3/ left Precipice lake after lunch, ran back down to Hamilton lake, and an hour later I was swimming. That felt great, dried off and got a private bivy spot on the rocks off the water before other hikers started showing up. Chatted with some people, most were looping from Mineral King or heading to Whitney on HST.

4/ quick one for the runners 🏃‍♂️🙌

I wasn't going to post this, because I think I look stupid when I run, but it is what it is.

The Run Through Foundation 10k surprised me with a personalised video of my run around the route. It 1:22 may not be fast, but faster than the 1:25 I was aiming for. I sneakily started right at the back so I was overtaking all the way through:

I have The Big Half in three weeks 😨

Fyr til Fyr 2025

Last weekends race recap 🏃‍♂️
2 lighthouses, 5 islands, 4 bridges, 43 km and 2500 m elevation gain. Have been out there for 8 hrs and 15 min.
Morning started cloudy with a bit of drizzle, turning into sunshine throughout the day. The trail was still wet and muddy at times, making some downhill sections particularly spicy. Struggled about half way with my left knee in the downhill sections, but it was keeping up in the flats and uphills. 1/x

Busy sports summer on the TV…

Euro 2025 just finished (congratulations England, and thank you Switzerland for the hosting), and today the FINA swim world championships started in Singapore (well, last week we’re the open water events - with an amazing performance from Germany’s Wellbrock who won all 4 events 10K, 5K, 3K and 1500m relay) - guess what will be on the TV this week with a swimmer kid, then UTMB will come and in September we will have the IAAF track and field world championships in Tokyo.
