Mountain race 1:11:25 [5] 15.1 km (4:44 / km) +962m 3:35 / km
shoes: Adidas Terrex agravic speed
Snowdon race
A fast start. Perhaps got a bit carried away by the great atmosphere and support on the streets of Llanberis... hit the start of the main mountain path and eased off the pace a bit realising I wasn’t going to be able to maintain the initial tempo. Settled into a good sustainable rhythm after this, pushing a bit harder on the slightly flatter sections of trail. Clung onto Ewan Brown and stuck on his shoulder for the whole climb, summering a few seconds after him, before he flew away on the descent not to be seen again... enjoyed the descent a lot more than the climb and felt I had a good descent myself. A lot of tourist dodging and runner dodging... don’t think I lost any places on the descent. Hit the final road section back into Llanberis and caught a glimpse of a runner a few 100m or so ahead, pushed hard to get the overtake coming into the finishing field.
Great experience running in such a competitive field. Ran 01:22 in 2017 so nice get a big Pb with 01:11. Definitely a race to return to in the the future in attempt to go sub 68!
