Snowdonia, wet and windy


I'm sure a fuller report will eventually appear, as modesty prevents me from going into too much detail. Conditions were horrendous, gale force winds gusting to severe gale force (the Beaufort scale doesn't have a category at which the wind brings runners to a halt) and unremitting rain, sometimes torrential.

Times were:- YJ 4.17.11 (chip time)/4.17.51(gun time); TF 4.39.09/4.40.52; EtU 4.51.36/4.53.02

Congratulations to TF on a brilliant debut performance. She was one of the few people smiling at the finish.

We all came away empty handed. I was fourth O/65, 12 minutes behind Eric Sidebottom. Training to put him in his place next year has already begun, the target being under four hours and first O/70.
