Ran the 45 mile Brecons Ultra today. 7.30 am dawn start, dusk finish! Took 9 hrs 15 minutes for this two 'lap' race (4:15 first lap!), and pretty happy with that - came in 43rd place.
Course was good, but underfoot conditions were tough - lots of mud, water, rocky, wet muddy descents but all in a spectacular setting. Canal towpath running with gorgeous autumn colours, big hills (Brecon mountains!), forests, open countryside, miles and miles of panoramic views. Recommended!
But, it was tough, but I guess that's what you get on a trail/mountain ultra!
So, 45 miles to add to the tally, which now stands at 438 miles.
