Today we went for another bike/run. We again started in Poolewe but went a completely different way than the other day. The path we were taking was a five/six mile circular route around Loch Kernsary but we added extra on and ran down a path along the other side of Loch Maree to that which we were on two days ago.
At first the path was quite boring and Duncan was finding it too easy riding because it was just compacted trail and not at all technical but once we started going round the other side of Loch Kearnsey it got far too technical and he ended up carrying his bike a lot again.
It didn't stop raining the entire time we were out today and towards the end of the run I was getting extremely cold, as was Ruby who, despite wearing her little coat, was shivering away.
Duncan then got a flat tyre but, rather meanly, I left him to it and ran on ahead as I was just too cold to wait around in the howling wind and rain.
I ran all the way back to the van and got out of my soaking wet kit and into dry clothes. About 15 minutes later, Duncan turned up, soaked to the bone. I was starting to get a bit worried (honest!).
Total distance - 11.5 miles
