In short: Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurve this race !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In full: I was just happy to be there after 12 months of injuries and illness. Just a few weeks ago I was looking at not being able to run , so lining up at the start in the sunshine was fantastic.
Unlike the vast majority or "normal" people , but very like the majority of runners , I really enjoyed the slog up Pen Y Pass , but not as much as running all the way down into Beddgeler! To be fair , that's probably what caused the wheels to spectacularly come off at 20 miles but anyway it was a pleasure to descend at speed and snatch quick glimpses of the beautiful surroundings.
The long drag out of Beddgelert took it's toll today as did all the inclines which is odd as the weather was about as good as it can get for running a marathon and last year , it was about as bad as it can get but I ran a better , stronger race !?
Anyway , after being shot by the cramp sniper a couple of times in various muscles I managed to give it big legs on the finishing straight along the main street in Llanberis which was lined with very loud and encouraging supporters!
I will be back again next year and recommend this race to be tried at least once by anyone who fancies a crack at a marathon.
I'm learning very slowly that endurance is about patience , not about pushing hard from the start line and this course is a harsh teacher !!!
