Sarn Helen race which has a real habit of getting your feet wet and muddy. 2 river crossings and a boggy climb gives the runners a real test. A fresh autumn day greeted 92 runners from around mid and south wales and we started off to the news about Gary Speed, big shock! Having hit the City of Swansea with the Barcelona boys on Friday night i was aiming for a clean run with as little pain as possible. Started off with a steady pace and let the runners go on their way. Once we hit the big climb to the mast my legs were strong and quickly picked off the other trainers one by one. Having introduced some higher mileage and hill sprints into my training in the last two weeks i found my fitness at a different level and i was up 7th and catching the runners in front. Could not make any ground over the last mileage but finished strongly passing another mountain bike on the last hill to the finish. Burger and tea finished a great day off.
7th Runner 46min 12 sec PB
