Aye you'd put a lot of money on the winner going on current form, especially since The Mounsey's slip of form since his Mourne mountain run?

Then again you never know who'll turn up for French, Italians or even Slovenians?.....

Looking forward to this one way or another - got a number to run but had the mishap of hurting my back and side at work on Thursday. If no improvement by Wed morning might have to revert to walking up with the camera for photos instead.

Hello All ,

I just pulled this of the Met office web site for the Snowdonia area .

Saturday
After a dry and bright start it will cloud over, with rain moving in from the west at some point during the day. Winds, mainly light in the morning, becoming gentle south to southwesterly in the afternoon.

I'm doing stipperstones fell race (AS) in shropshire tonight as a warm up for the big event on Saturday .

Really looking forward to the weekend .

Pinno , if you can take your camara that would be great . I don't think Al Tye is doing Snowdon this year . I'll ask him tonight .

See you all there

Not that it makes that much difference to my performance but I'd never run (or cycle) the day before a race. For a 10 miler I'd probably maybe have a mid week run or two but nothing run too hard and nothing after say Wednesday. For a longer race I might take it even steadier. I seem to run quicker and am less prone to injury with a rest up.
