\/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>I had a busy day on Monday, starting off the day with a lovely open water swim. I was on my own today so headed from Borth around to Aberwennol and back and then looped around the reefs. The aire temperature at 6:30am was 16\u00baC so getting ready in the summer sunshine was quite toasty even at that time of the day. The water is warming up quite a bit but there wasn&#8217;t much to see today. It was still the perfect start to the week.<\/p>\n<p>Next was a bike ride which involved intervals along the grassy track by the Leri. This was followed by a very short run. Very short as my achilles is still sore. It was sore when I first started but when I finished (literally 5 minutes later) it felt OK and it wasn&#8217;t sore afterwards either. That&#8217;s certainly an improvement over recent attempts at running even if it was only a 5 minute run.<\/p>\n<p>I then spent a couple of hours cleaning, washing, waxing, polishing and\u00a0vacuuming the camper. Ramsey, our camper van is now gleaming!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-26674 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Clean-Camper.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Clean-Camper-200x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Clean Camper\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-26684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Clean-Camper-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Clean-Camper-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Clean-Camper.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-26684'>\n\t\t\t\tClean Camper\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Polished-Camper.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Polished-Camper-200x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Polished Camper\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-26685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Polished-Camper-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Polished-Camper-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Polished-Camper.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-26685'>\n\t\t\t\tPolished Camper\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Ramsey.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Ramsey-200x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Ramsey\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-26686\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Ramsey-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Ramsey-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Ramsey.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-26686'>\n\t\t\t\tRamsey\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Shiny-Camper.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Shiny-Camper-200x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Shiny Camper\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-26687\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Shiny-Camper-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Shiny-Camper-720x540.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.alananna.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/Shiny-Camper.jpg 950w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-26687'>\n\t\t\t\tShiny Camper\n\t\t\t\t<\/dd><\/dl>\n\t\t\t<br style='clear: both' \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>Next up was lawn mowing and gardening for a couple of hours before heading into Borth to collect Morgan from the school bus.

I think it was brought on by the bumpy hard efforts on the CX bike earlier\u00a0in the day, but the lawn mowing and van polishing probably didn&#8217;t help. I therefore had a nice steady paddle to Aberdovey and back before playing in the small waves for a while.
