So today was a TW training walk and it all seemed very similar!!
Last night I had sorted my bag, this morning I removed wet weather stuff and applied sun block as the sky was blue without a single cloud and the weather man said 0% chance of rain!
The idea was to stick to about 20mm pace and all in all I did that less lunch stop/loo stop etc.
I decided to sling my GPS in my bag in case I got lost so I could track the miles and also to review pace once home to help with planning on the day.
Started off well and within 30mins my last minute addition of a shower jacket was removed. Less than an hour later it was back on. Then off. Then on.
At 11m I was crossing a lovely field ... undulating and recently plowed so lots of lose mud. Ideal time for a down pour! Jacket on! As with TW03 I was in capri legs, running tee and the same shower not rain proof jacket! The mud on the field just clung to my boots and I kept on having to stop to remove it as it was so heavy once about 2" thick!
Once the rain stopped I had lunch and brufen(!) checked the map and toddled on. By this time the legs were tired, I was wet and fed up especially as I was alone. It started to drizzle again.
Across another couple of fields and this pixie had had enough ... I was going home and along the road!
Tired and muddy I stumbled home 5hrs 38 and 16.5m later.

Most of my mud had been removed before yesterday as I have been using my boots in the garden this year to get my feet used to them again!!
