i did a lap of the course a few weeks ago and Tor-y-foel definitely seemed steeper than my memory could remember.......I'm sure it will be steeper the second time around
if we can get things sorted out on various local matters (work/life), we should be there - but marshalling in some capacity. in communication with LFW as I write
There are loads from Elagen doing it aren't there........
2 years ago we had all that rain and wind on the second lap..........last year we had so much fog that you couldn't see your hands ..let alone your feet..( but avoided the deep snow that fell a few days later) this year i predict perfect autumn weather with blue skies and sunshine...a little crisp to start with........ and meldy as usual i will be in my pirate Monaco but i will have a raincoat to put on if needed .honest
we'll definitely be there now - no idea where we're marshalling yet as we'll sort that out with LFW on Friday eve. probably somewhere around Talybont as we have limited transport options with the minibago
Be good to see you again FB! You staying for a pint later on?
Hi Seren, yes Elagen have been good enough to sponsor 4 teams so we've all (well a few original drop-outs from injury unfort) have been necking the Sport and Beta-Alanine pills for a while. Be interested to see how the pill handles ultra
Oh and Paul Thompson is the current Ultra Triathlon World Champ He's a very humble and friendly bloke (hard core northener) which is why prob not a lot of people know it.
I'll be there in a 'recceing for next year' capacity. So if you see a couple dressed in running gear going the opposite direction, that's likely to be me and boyfriend.
Good luck everyone. Looks like it's gonna be a nice day.
Really enjoyed the day, racing with mates and meeting some interesting ultra runners (some of you are just insane!) Looking forward to next year - we really need to encourage Martin and Sue to host more events
My first time on this event. Great race and organization, support from marshals at remote places was really appreciated . Despite loosing 5kg body weight somewhere, I will be back.
Good to meet you Ian, enjoyed the chat on the first loop. Finally got to meet some people I've only on the forums and it was worth the wait, I finally see why people are so loyal to this race and it's everything to do with the organisers, lovely freindly and passionate about the outdoors. I'll certainly be back.
