Corndon 3 Peaks Classic




5th of April 2010
First round of the Welsh Open/ North and South Fell running championship. Really excited to have finally caught a first round of the champ;s and hopefully put some scores on the board. Bank holiday Monday race i brought the family for a day out. A tough last few weeks having had a knock on the knee which resulted in swelling and crutches held back my training but felt fit nonetheless. A Dramatic start straight up to the peak of corndon hill holding 4th place but losing positions on the downhill sections. A superb route up the last 2 peaks and then a flyer down to the finish where i managed to gain a place with a surprising boost of pace. Finished in 9th 8Min's down on the leader. Brillaint start lets just get the training going.




Cardigan Valantines 10k

Race 1 of the 2010 season, a good xmas paid off and sealed a convincing 2nd place. Stopping off in cardigan after picking up a sofa from my sister i decided to bring the trainers just incase. Following the back roads of cardigan a smooth undulating 1 lap race really tested my early season form. Clear in 2nd after 3 miles, a steady run to the end produced a fast time of 39.45m Job done. (Only 5 min behind the leader, ouch).
