Wet and muddy and a gd day to try out the new shoes, Inov8 Talon 190. A race which I hadnt completed before so hitched a lift with the Butcher of Lampeter and headed down to pembs. A good turn out from the club with 15 runners taking place with the vest taking over the start line. Started strong at the front and was happy to stay to stay with the group. Half way through I opened up a lead which I kept until the finish. A Route which followed the lake with a rough, muddy and rocky route which was very undelating and finished with a tarmac section down to the bottom of the Dam before climbing up to the finish. Luckily no one in sight which was a blessing climbing up to the finish line.
Happy to keep setting some good pace but a Hip injury keeping me out of running through Nov and Dec which had me miss Ras y mast and Aber 10k which was very disapointing. Having spent ££££ on 3 physios I have no answers to my problems. Keep hydrated and mobile (Stretching) a big help which is key to keeping me going at the moment.
