Having been off the running for 4 weeks following the bike crash I was a little rusty going into this event and with the stage proving to be a tough hilly course it was going to be a long 10mile crawl. An Team event which suprised me with an enormous crowd gathering around the Dolgellau car park ready for Stage 7 of 20 it involved 20 stages around 10 miles long from Caernarfon to Cardiff. Stage starting at 4.00pm it was a long day for most people who had to suffer with the biggest floods the Aberystwyth area had ever seen and with most roads closed it was lucky the event still went ahead. My run a long drag out of dolgellau coming out in cross foxes and continuing ahead on the main road towards Dinas Mawddwy. Finished 1h3min in the top 20, felt strong but struggled to get any pace out of the biking legs. Speed sessions the training schedule for the summer nights.
Sarn Helen finished 15th Overall.
