Amazing, I managed to get the 14 year old Morgan off his xBox and out onto the beach briefly, despite the fact that it was his birthday!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The temperature hit 18.7\u00baC here today, crazy temperatures for February. I was at home with Morgan so after some work jumped on the Turbo Trainer for a tough VO2max Interval workout. It was the first time I’ve finished one of these workouts successfully since updating my FTP a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then headed straight out to the estuary for a surf ski session. I was going to head out to the Bar for a repeat of yesterday’s session<\/a> but the surf was much bigger today. The roar from the waves was monstrous as I approached and I felt pretty small out there on my own amongst the huge swells. I therefore thought better of it and headed back to the safety of the estuary. I paddled up past Aberdovey and on to the little beach at Panteidol. I stopped here briefly for a drink and to skim some stones in the sunshine. It was a glorious day and this was the perfect spot to be. I then paddled back across the estuary towards the Leri and then back to Ynyslas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
