Due to the volume of photos I took I will do a separate Gallery of the Descent Images later today and keep this one for the Ascent images. Should make it a little easier to find photos of yourselves.

Great photographs of the Mountain Race Pinno, good stuff!

I wish I'd have been there now :(

Glad you're feeling ok now Math, take it easy.
There was a female runner laid down near the start of the tarmac - anybody know is she's ok?

I thought there was going to be water at Clogwyn, ended up very dehydrated, think I'll take a drink with me next time.

I watched the race last night, there's subtitles for the non-welsh speakers; don't know how the missus manged to switch them on though!

That was Alwynn Shannon from Northern Ireland. She spent the night in hospital in Bangor, but is fine and made the bus to the ferry at Holyhead yesterday morning with the rest of the N Irish and Irish. She collapsed at that point from heat exhustion/dehydration.

Photos are great Pinno thanks.I even managed to get a snap on the eryri harriers site behind Matt R on the way down pre my fall and his dehydration ! :)

Just to check - anyone know anything about recovery time from such a thing as that - heat exhaustion / severe dehydration??

Cheers!!

Glad you're on the mend Matt.

I was very impressed, but not surprised, that despite your condition at the point of your collapse you were looking for the shortcut :D .

Just watched the coverage on S4Cdigital - what a great race, and what good coverage - makes our sport look great.

Fantastic achievement by Roadrunner - three in a row- but also shows just how impressive Kenny Stuart's record is!

Nice dive Iain - practicising for next time you're in the penalty box:D

1.30 slower than last year but was 3.50 slower at the top and improved my descent by 2.20.
Last year I was ranked 205 on the up and 400 on the down.
This year 252 on the up and 380 on the down.
Enjoyed the last bit when everyone else was falling apart and I passed loads on the run-in.
Last mile in 6.42!:eek::D

Thought I was catching you up towards the end Swoop (recognised you from your avatar!) but then we hit the road and you disappeared!! Very hot - disappointed not to get in a bit quicker as training had gone well, but still a minute quicker than last year so can't complain.

Dread to think what time Roadrunner would have done had it been cooler - close to the record perhaps? Where was Mary Wilkinson this year?
