Run > Race

Snowdon Race - was looking forward to it. Hadnt trainined as much as previous years - but still felt in better shape.
Decided that I needed to pace myself properly - was aiming for a sub 1 hour summit time - but Allt Moses slowed me down - was pushing myself to keep going - then at the top of allt goch - had to stop as my feet were RED HOT! I thought my skin was coming off (socks didnt feel right either) - so stopped and took it off...probably lost a good minute...was so close to getting the sub 1 hour that i craved...next year will make sure..i gave it too much respect and didnt trust myself - I can go quicker...just didnt "give it sh1t"...descent was terrible - had a stomach cramp all the way down - which HURT with every step.

Was dissapointed on the day - but on reflection after all thats gone on - i should just accept it - and work harder next year...at least I finished!!
