hill running 1:57:15 [4] 9.0 mi (13:02 / mi) +900m 9:56 / mi
Clwydian Hills fell race. A couple of minutes slower than i was two years ago but I felt I ran pretty well. I lost time early on with a bad line, just following the crowd and adding both distance and climb. Then I lost a bit more time with a bad belly as we ran along the Offas Dyke path. After that and once the terrain got a bit more interesting I was a lot better. I think I got another bad line on one of the climbs, following the group through bilberry and heather when I am sure I found a path last time.
Nice sunny day, enjoyable race in nice scenery. Ali Thornton won in 76, 2nd (and 1st over 50) was Lloyd Taggart in 78 I think, then Peter Bray in 80. They had probably gone home by the time I finished. I did win a scarf as a spot prize.
