Source of the Severn

Race up in the hills of Hafren Fforest where the route traces the source of the river Severn and beyond. With some solid training in the legs with the aberaeron chumps I felt strong and confident of a strong run. Quick start I settled into 3rd position through some awesome single track running following the river before starting the climb up. Caught 2nd place runner prior to top who held me up and kept me running a steady but not race pace. Off the top I quickly gained a lead and pushed towards the finish. A longer than anticipated finish had me burnt with a mile left and got caught just prior to the finish. Finished a strong 3rd in 58min. Andreas winning in 54.
