  Running in the rain is one of the great joys of life.

  These are the badboys I was thinking of. Saw some in Sweatshop, would be tempted if they ever went on sale.

  Phil, I may yet end up grabbing a Beachy Head entry. Come out of the ultra feeling like bizarrely fast and don't want to waste the mileage I've got already.

  Also I've not yet run a time there I'm happy with.

  Great running track people.

  First track session in a hell of a long time tonight, good to get back on it. Trying to rebuild cross country speed after my ultra exploits.

  Would go £30 posted for the cranks if still available?

  Anyone keeping track of UTMB this weekend?

  Predictions? I'm going one of Tollefson, Z Miller and Jornet for the main event and one of Sandes, Pommeret or Hawks for CCC.

  Some loose, unconnected thoughts:

  -while not enjoying large stretches of it, it was one of the best running experiences of my life to date

  -can't fault any aspect of the organisation, checkpoints, anything. Everything was exactly what you would want

  -ultras are a good opportunity to eat as much as you can, something I didn't take full advantage of

  Basically, it was great. I finished at 5:30am so spent all of yesterday feeling very odd, but I could actually run today (I'm not though, discretion being the better form of valour etc). I came 14th in 17:30 and I think I can chop at least 90 minutes off that in future.

  tl,dr: I love ultras now?

  Hows about £25 for the Giant fork? Need to double check the steerer is long enough as well. Can collect.
