It was a very wet night with strong winds down here in Brecon and is shaping up to be a very wet and windy day with limited visibilty on the hills.Looks like another epic year .

Times seem long especially if you discount the racing snakes at the front end. Most of the courses seem to have much shorter second days( for which I am sure people will be very happy) .

In spite of the organisers claim that the area is well drained, with the amount of rain that has fallen yesterday and overnight I expect the ground is very heavy and the streams will be high.The car park field should be fun too, but its at least a downhill exit.

probably the wind will be the major problem. Really quite glad my partner got injured as I really dislike running in strong winds.

woah, leg 3 on Elite yesterday - fastest split 3h 12 min!

Kim Collison Tweet suggests him and Steve B finished 2nd. Your guesses on who won?!

Thank god that's over, do people come back and do this a second time ? I'm bolloxed, that's what comes from running with someone 13 years younger (especially when you are 60).
Day 1 had a 4hr leg between checkpoints (for us on the B), couldn't quite see the point in that.
Weather was slightly breezy with the usual Welsh drizzle - normal Beacons stuff.

2 to 3 yesterday was a very long section! Good course, and really enjoyed day1 despite the weather. But Longdogs and I packed in overnight after our tent became more like a swimming pool.

Oh dear Bill, did it have taped seams? Breezy will be after you if not.

Any word from your missus Stagger? Not heard anything from Stef since yesterday morning
