Snowdon Race 23 July 2005
10 miles, 3250 feet, 1 hour 25 mins 45 secs, 76/465
Results
Not really my style this race, but with it being televised and being a bit of an event, I decided to have a go. Despite the forecast, the weather was set fair - quite warm and some sun. I started slowly as usual and struggled on the uphill. Its runnable nearly all the way, so there's no relenting for the 5 miles up and I was disappointed to get to the top outside the first 100 in over 58 minutes. However, I really enjoyed the downhill. There seemed to be quite a lot of runners who weren't used to rough paths and I managed to pick up about 30 places to finish 76th by covering the 5 miles down in a much more competitive time of 27 mins 25 secs. Need to practice those uphills!
