Llyn y fan face 2015

4th place Welsh champsIn the mood for this race with some good result and training and even took in a route Reece as it was only a few miles from home. Considering this id never been to the region, long steady climb undulating over the ridge then a sharp decent down the grassy bank to the finish. 5.5 miles. Started off with 3 others at the front with a quick pace pulling away from the other runners, coming off the access road to the lake we hit the steeper part and the grass and mud. Was in 3rd then lost a position on the climb feeling the pain a little and struggling to recover. Held onto the heels of MDu runner and took some nice lines keeping sight of the front 3. A sharp up and down we hit the last summit and head straight down to the edge of the lake. A gradual decent then followed on long grass which hid some unexpected stones and obstacles. Kept close to the others and without noticing was gaining. The 3rd place runner had a fall on one of the rocks and was struggling to make the finish, promoting me up a position on his expense. Finished strong 44.13. 4th
