Tal y Fan fell race with Rosemary (who wiped the floor with me!)
Wow, that was a bit of a baptism of fire for a first fell race! Dropped off the back about halfway up the hill and kept 3-4 people in my sights just ahead for the whole race until we hit the second climb (the marshalls had said it was all downhill from the stone circle, which was definitely not true!!). Struggled on the second climb and then the descent was just painful on the feet and knees - jarring down the road for the last mile. It was kind of fun though...
After constant niggles over the past 10 days I'm glad the ankle and foot held up without any repurcussions on terrain - good sign for ORingen.
Rosemary casual first women to the top and second overall. The locals are trying to recruit her back for future races...
