I think Gavin bland took it easy up Elidir and just started to pick up the pace over the rest of the course on his stormin course record of 3:02
I was talking to Trefor about that, he said Gavin was one of the last to leave the field that year and didn't pass him until way up into the quarries.

Saying that though the course is slower now, less sheep grazing, but also fewer inclines in the quarries, which they used in the past..
