Snowdon Marathon

[stevefoster]

Fairly so. Long year. In the last 10 weekends I've done 2 marathons, a 100k and the UTMB so feeling pretty dead in the legs. I was after 2:59 so just off my aim. Overall though I felt quite up for this and enjoyed the race and felt I ran a fairly good race, died a bit but still passed people from half way onwards.

Well done Iain, only 2 mins off your aim

Well done Iain, only 2 mins off your aim

I know, but 2:57 or 2:59 seems nothing..2:59 to 3:01 is a bit more critical.. :-)

Happy enough, thinking of looking for a fast marathon at early 2010 to get a sub 3 out of the way. In reality with 2 sub 3:05 snowdonia's it should be a formality, but I just want that bench mark out of the way.. :-)

Thanks Al,

Hope you didn't get too wet in that hail storm. I managed to get across the finish line just as the heavens opened.

No photo of me yet. I'll keep looking.

Home now with a steak and bottle of red.

The steak was good, the red was better!

I can only find a very old thread on this race so I've started a new one and the mods can add the other on to this....Ta Brett

I'll be down there in two weeks, any one else going for it.

Where are people staying, camping, B&B Or traveling down on the day.

i'll be there, although woefully under prepared as it was a relatively last minute decision. finish will deffo be the target rather than any times.
Ive got family in Beddgelert so stopping there
