Looked as fresh as a daisy!
Glutes and back issues from about 15 m. Chester still in my legs, but happy enough. I made it 3.08.08. Managed a sprint finish for last 100m
JD cracking time,well done,any news on the others?
Wow, what an awesome day, absolutely loved it. Time for a bath
Hoping my stomach settles so I can have a few beers tonight. Can't get off the bog
Ok well I really enjoyed it even though the second half took half and hour longer than the first! I did get really cold but was just glad it was dry and there were lovely views! 4:30 for me in the end
Hope you can get out....
Frodo well considering my complete lack of running since August 4:10 and a few seconds
Hope you all have a fab night guys.
Amazing day! I was having quad issues by the time I reached Mile 10. Beat the cutoff by 30 minutes thanks to Wrexham Bob and Seren Nos. Chrissi fast walked by at mile 23. Met Jason D this morning.
Congratulations everyone for being involved in an event that is as beautiful as it is challenging. I'll never forget it (unless this evening gets out of hand).
Time for food.
Best I've ever felt in all my 9 marathons - no pain at all and when you're my age, that's good. Nutrition spot on so pleased with that and 3rd in category.
Ok... It was a modest 4:33 ( my Garmin said 31!) but 14 mins off last year so chuffed. (See- you just have to be old!)
I'm a bit smug as I've taken a lot of stick for doing 2 marathons on 20 days- think I'll do a third just to wind up the doubters.
Well done you speedsters xxxx
Having a very large glass of wine in van and into town for more soon. See some of you perhaps?
3:47 for me
and Mr panad did fantastically with 4:15 for his 1st marathon (including a stop for tea at the top of bwlch y groes
Was great to be able to see the mountains for once, though glad I stuck to my choice of vest and shorts - I was pouring enough water over me as it was to cool myself down! Great to catch up with some of you, hope you have a good night
3:02 for me very pleased with that! Was aiming sub 3:15 but the conditions were perfect apart from a couple of miles of headwind after Beddgelert. Well done to all finishers regardless of time, I think we all put in the same amount of effort regardless of finish time! And get the same pleasure of finishing this great race too I hope!
Decided at the 11th hour ( yesterday) to do the event. The knee ligament issue had improved, so I thought what the heck give it a go. Despite doing hardly any running since the L100, I managed a comfortable time of 3.55, with no issues. It is a cracking event with great support.
Well done everyone.
Good evening All,
What a fantastic event & great weather too
. Well done to all and always another year for ones that missed their targets
Managed 3:51:19 Very pleased with that with not the perfect build up, no sleep and managed to pick up sickess and a cold virus. Maybe shouldn't of run.
Enjoy tonight all & have a pint for me - I'm in my sick bed in a moment
.
Oooooffff!!!! That was tough but I loved it! Finished in 3.48.07, would have liked a little bit quicker, but there is always next year for that
Hardest bit was the descent into Llanberis, plenty of uphill training but I am so rubbish at running downhill. Just got back to Cardiff as I know my legs wouldn't have taken the drive back tomorrow.
Well done guys, what a cracking run!
Panad: were you pouring water down the back of your legs at the 20ish mile point if so think I saw you (I had the orange arc vest on).
great day had by all, what an amazing experience, could even see the top of Snowdon, this is quite rare by the way! Anyone know where to view race photos?
Amazing day, amazing conditions, amazing organization, amazing support, amazing course.
Oh, anyone know which company is in charge of photos?
These are all very short reports but well done all - some cracking times.
stephen k - another one forcing himself off the bench to do this one!
