biking and running for about 7 hours in the freezing rain when I'm sick. Actually, this was pretty amazing :P
I heard about this race months ago and knew I needed to go see it. About 200 crazy men and women race up and down Garth Hill. The 8.3? mile course goes up and down the mountain TWICE. The record is 42 mins. The winner took it in about 46, AND HE RAN THE LONDON MARATHON ON SATURDAY. nuts nuts nuts. My friend Krzysztof took third in about 49, and Andy Gardiner, a Cardiff police officer I've ran with a few times, took about seventh about two minutes later.
For my part, I biked out, walked up the hill with a little redheaded girl, her aunt, and their dogs to cheer, then turned around and sprinted back down to the finish to catch it. Then biked home! Despite freezing and soaking, it was an amazing break from paper-writing :P
