WillBill Have never felt this bad in a race, not even at last year's Wasdale. Gorgeous day, far too nice to be racing over big hills: warm, sunny and very little in the way of breeze. Set off a little too quickly but soon reigned back on the haul up through the quarries to Elidir Fawr. Felt better once on the tops but I was finding the climbs hard work. Found an OK line down from Glyder Fawr and managed to run all the way to Llyn Llydaw. Glorious, classic view of Snowdon, framed by the peak of Lliewedd. Unfortunately, had to run the view rather do the sensible thing i.e. dive into the cool, inviting water. Hard work going up Lliewedd, harder still on Snowdon, where legs seemed to have much same consistency as the gell I'd forced down earlier. Struggled to run down from the top, but somehow kept going - helped that others seemd to be in much the same state of dis-repair. Jogged the run-in to the finish. 27th overall,10th Vet. Fife AC 4:04:16 4:04:16 4:04:16 33.88
