Celebration of Welsh athletics 6mile trail run around the Hafod estate, Free Entry!
Superb location but a little damp and windy, a field of 63 came out of nowhere to start 40mins later than planned. The front group got lost on the first corner which didnt bode well, lucky for me i passed them all and held 1st place for the first mile. Remembering my previous races and having learnt some valuable lessons, running hard from the start is not a good idea if you cant keep it up, so i quickly slowed down and joined the heels of Dafros and Mike. Once the trail left the forest roads we hit the single trails through the woods which were my kind of running, loved every second. Kept with the same guys until a mile from the end, last hill i passed them both and flew down the final paths to finish in 4th position. Superb run against good opposition, pleased. 44.45min. If Dic sorts his organising out this race could gather large crowds, race of the year so far. Mega!!
