A slightly more challenging run

Thanks to Jenny for persuading me to join her in the Heartbeat Challenge.  It was probably the most physically challenging thing I've done for a long while, but rewarding as a result.  The hill run really was that, with lots of climb, quite a bit of bog and about half a mile of quite uncomfortable cut heather, finishing with about a mile on tarmac.  After that, the 10 mile cycle was ALMOST a doddle - mostly downhill, mostly wind-assisted, but with a killer steep uphill bit 2 miles from home.  The "before" and "after" pics say it all... (thanks J's Dad for lurking and snapping)

Great fun!  Perhaps BASOC can have a few more people doing it next year?

Is it a ballerina? a bird?
