Cerist Tri Aquathlon (1)

Race one. A good turn out of 50 Athletes arrived in Machynlleth to a cold frosty morning.

2nd Senior male. Back in the pool for the next round.

Aberystwyth 10k

A wet few weeks prior to Sunday had put the event in doubt, but a strong breeze and sunshine on the day did enough to start the race. A few of the elite athletes had a day off and looking around it could have been anyone's day. Football and a few pints on the saturday had me doubting my fitness. Top 10 was in sight but the legs didn't fancy a 2nd half push and really frustrating day with 3-4 athletes ahead of me who I couldn't gain on. (10th )37.40min, winning time 35.23min.

Ras y Mast 2011

New race for me which was now part of my local running schedule having moved to the area. A trail run 6.25miles which ran around the Llanybyther mast. Not in the best of form but with the xmas fuel still digesting a decent chance to clear some cobwebs. A very wet day and a lot of boggy running to the top was a tough start, kept hold of 4th place around the mast but with the combination of running off route and tight legs dropped to 5th by the finish. Tough route which never leveled out. Ouchy.
