Saturday was seemingly dominated by the off road. Firstly, Sam Wilson finished 12th in Yr Helgi du, involving 25km of trail running with over 1000m of elevation in Eryri National Park 😮
Saturday also saw the Llanthony Show Fell Race take place, a 6.3k course with 350m elevation of climb 😮 Four of our runners - Julie Scholey, Clive Osmond, Rachel Lammin & Owain Zerilli took part. Owain celebrated finishing the race in the company of lots of sheep.
Sunday was very light on the racing front given lots of Croups took part in the Mob Match vs Ponty Roadents. In Nottingham half marathon though, Emily Fell finished strong as 🥇 woman in 1:25:33 🙌 James Bull also cruised round the course, it’s great to see him coming back strong after a bout of injury 🥹
And lastly, but very much not least, we turn to the triathlons. A huge congratulations to Paddy McDowell, who finished 🥉 in the Snowman Legend Triathlon taking place in Eryri national park 🥳
