Tregaron Half Marathon 16

1st. 1.17.34


Actually pretty happy with the Xmas break with steady miles every week and keeping the sessions going in Aberaeron. Having trouble with pain under the right knee cap and had a cold all week it wasn't  a record breaking day. 


Not a large field of quality so decided to take it steady before pushing to the end, keeping an eye on a good week of training. 


Gun set off it was freezing and even had to put the trusted blue t-shirt on, bitterly cold wind going out but behind us on the return.  


Was in 4th place after 1st mile, just hiding the same pace I was was 3rd after 3 miles. Passing ken there was a Neath Runner ahead who fancied his chances as it took me up until mile 7-8 before I caught him and went straight past. On the railway track I upped the pace and put in 3 miles off effort to win by nearly 2 minutes. 

Solid run where I never touched the red with the steady increase in pace. Tough course with the hills on the out leg always a surprise and a pan flat finish with one incline towards the end always a testing day.
