The <strong>coast path was officially opened<\/strong> with a ceremony in Aberystwyth at which the band that Anna plays in were performing. It was the weekend of\u00a0the <strong><a title=\"Dyfi Enduro 2011 - Race Report\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/2011\/dyfi-enduro-2011-race-report\/\">Dyfi Enduro<\/a><\/strong> in Machynlleth. I didn&#8217;t ride it this year but I was in Machynlleth on Sunday morning for a run and a swim so got a bit of feel for the usual carnival atmosphere that surrounds the event.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong><a title=\"Celtic Challenge\" href=\"http:\/\/www.celtic-challenge.org.uk\/\">Celtic Challenge<\/a><\/strong> rowing race was on. This year 22 teams took part in what is the\u00a0World&#8217;s longest true rowing race. The teams race from Arklow in County Wicklow, Ireland to Aberystwyth, a distance of about 90 nautical miles.<\/p>\n<p>Anna and Morgan spent most of the weekend with the Scouts marshalling and manning water stations for the runners at the <strong><a title=\"Red Kite Challenge\" href=\"http:\/\/www.redkite-barcudcoch.org.uk\/\">Red Kite Challenge<\/a><\/strong>. They had a pretty cold day stood in the wind on Saturday but Sunday was a little better, despite the fact that they had some flurries of snow whilst stood in the hills at one point. Yep, snow in May!<\/p>\n<p>I had a day to myself on Saturday and managed to fit in a cycle and a run, did some work in the garden and managed to do some work mowing a neighbours garden as well. The cycle involved some pretty hard flat out efforts and the run was the first time for months that I&#8217;ve <a title=\"Speeding things up - Run Training\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/2012\/speeding-things-up\/\">ran at a pace that is faster than race pace<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sunday was a good day for some training as well, with a hill rep run and a swim in the morning. We then had some friend (Dennis &amp; Sophie) coming for dinner so with a nice tidy house and cupboards full of food, I had some time to myself in the afternoon. The sun was shining, the garden was looking lovely so I actually got to spend an hour or so just sitting in the garden relaxing, and soaking up the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>It was good to catch up with Dennis and Sophie on Sunday evening and it provided a good opportunity for us to have a nice dinner, lots of wine and even some whisky as we chatted into the evening.<\/p>\n<p>Monday was a good day too, with a decent breakfast for all of us, then coffee and cakes! This was followed by hill reps on the bike for me once Dennis and Sophie had left for home. The hills reps do make pretty elevation charts.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10083\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/hill_reps.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10083\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10083\" title=\"Elevation Data from Hill Reps\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/hill_reps-480x117.jpg\" alt=\"Elevation Data from Hill Reps\" width=\"480\" height=\"117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/hill_reps-480x117.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/hill_reps-120x29.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/hill_reps.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10083\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Elevation Data from Hill Reps<\/p><\/div>\n<p>We then all headed into Aberyswyth where I went for a swim in the sea with the triathlon club.
