Tregaron half marathon

The day after and the legs feeling gd, a little cautious maybe yesterday but made sure I kept a solid pace over the course. Enjoyed every moment which is very unlike me.

1st time at this event which i was looking forward to as my last half marathon was 2005 Cardiff half which was 1h 35min and before i started this running game. Rain and wind was forcasted but it turned out an ok run with only light rain and wind not affecting the runners to badly.



Started steady with a Trots runner and happily helped each other to pick off the runners in front, great pace which had us catch the to two #timdic runners who have been on top of their game. Happy to stay with them at mile 8 and see how things turn out. We reached the Cors caron section which was 3 miles of dead straight railway path, a long way home. Feeling very good with only the calfs starting to seaze up but not enough to stop the pace. Took a gel at 9miles and picked up the pace a little to try and catch Geth who had legthened his stride to pull away.

We hit the Tarmac of the main road and was still feeling good, then with a mile to go I couldn't up my speed and got picked to 2 places to the finish. Very happy with the run and very enjoyable competition from the boys.


6th 1h 21min 26sec. PB
