I see the PDNP has put up some annoying signs on the verges encouraging people to use the paid parking Apart from the signage being visually intrusive the message conveyed is that everything “you see” is somehow down to them which is bollocks.

They should scrap the parking charges and encourage people to use it.
I'm pissed off that after all the training I get fucked by the weather on the day.

S - Great Aberdeen Half. Too damn hot! Temp mid 20s, barely a breath of wind and cloudless. Gave it my best shot 1:42:08, 2 minutes off the PB I was hoping for. I guess i should be happy getting a good time in crappy conditions. But I'm not. I'm pissed off that after all the training I get fucked by the weather on the day.

Awesome that looks like a flipping great problem.
True, just the window is a bit bigger. Only one race start time, whereas it's amazing what good conditions you can get if you get to Stanage early enough.And are spotted by a passing Spaniard on a bicycle.
In the afternoon I go out for a longer run and clearly after last week pride comes before a fall. Was struggling with the heat and managed about 18 miles in three and a half hours but was feeling sick and wasted. Despite drinking 2 litres during the run was still 4 pounds lighter at the end. Topping up with isotonic beer in the evening. A mixed but happy day.

T - Malham. A frustrating evening session waiting for three people, all of whom were working the route, to finish.
Tricky scenario. Did you ask? Not many would object to: “is there any chance I could sneak in a quick redpoint while conditions are good? I got really high last week”.

I really like the SiS Tablets you drop into the water (make sure it doesn't blow out the bottle as they are a bit effervescent), but my partner swears by Tailwind. If I m doing a long race or run where i need to top up water I carry a couple of the tablets in one of the plastic capsules from a Kinder Egg, they fit perfectly.
