GOLDRUSH TRAIL RACE.
Arrived at CYB not knowing how my legs would feel but a lovely sunny morning meant I was more than up for a run.....
Instead of doing 2 laps of the Goldrush I opted for a trail I hadn't ran before but wanted to.
Its not one of the marked trails but I was glad I did....3 miles of flat fire road to start allowed me to find my legs a bit running steady and I felt much better than the last few days.
I nipped up a footpath that I guessed would be a bit of a climb and found it was straight up and steep for over a mile so was good fun. VIews at the top were 360 of Cader Idris etc with plenty of technical running on the top and then straight down to another trail...
I got back to the Goldrush start with just over 10 miles in the bank and felt fine.
GOLDRUSH >>> Ran steady with one of the RUNSTRONG members for the first four miles then had to ease off a little when some tiredness kicked in. I had a 45 min wait inbetween runs too with no food since breakfast that didn't help....
Happy to have ran nearly 19 miles and felt good afterwards.
