After my first time running this one I had to return, since the last one didn’t go to well after the weather ruined it basically. This time we got to start on the Menai Bridge and run the official route. The training paid off. I set a goal of a sub 1:40 as this is a fairly flat course and I achieved it today knocking over 4 mins off my previous PR. I couldn’t have asked for better weather conditions today so that was a massive help, very low wind but dry and sunny with a nice cool temperature the wind picked up a little when we were running by the coastal areas but nothing to worry about. My morning started with my 15 min shakeout 2hrs before my race started, then my breakfast when I got home which was a bagel with peanut butter and a drizzle of honey with a banana and a coffee also 500ml of water with an electrolyte tablet in. I then arrived at the race an hour before to get my warm up in which consisted of my usual lunge matrix some leg swings, calf raises, toe flicks, heel kicks, knee ups and 4×20 sec strides. The race started and I eased into pace maybe a bit quicker than I should have but I was very comfortable so went with it. This pace was manageable for most of the race with very little to no heavy breathing it was just the last 3 miles I felt it a bit and maybe that was because I went a bit quicker than I should have in the beginning, I was pushing over the last 2 miles the end was near the time was in range I just had to keep going and empty the tank, Goal Achieved!!!! I crossed the line my official time 1:39:11. I highly recommend this race as it is very popular and the scenery is stunning.
Good for a PB!

A nice 10k with some lovely views, I don’t live to far away from this great location so I know the area very well. Both the 10k and HM start on the world’s first major suspension bridge, Menai Bridge built by Thomas Telford in 1826. You run over the bridge to the first roundabout which then takes you under the bridge along the Menai straits there’s not a great deal of scenery on this one you are better off running the HM for that which also takes place on the same day. I have done both and they are both very popular and very enjoyable runs.
Route Change over night 🙈

What can I say about this race. I was looking forward to this one so much but things went from bad to worse over night. First we couldn’t start on the Menai Bridge due to high winds we were told this in advance. Then overnight a tree had fallen across the road blocking the route so, on the morning of the race they had to plan a diversion route. The route ended up being 13.8 miles long according to my Garmin and over 1,000ft of elevation due to the big hills that were now on it due to the diversion, these made this route a hard route as this one is normally quite a flat course. The weather on the day wasn’t the best but nevertheless I PB’d on my HM time so overall I was happy.
