So this month I did half of the Long Course Weekend Marathon, which was from Pembroke Castle to Tenby. It was long and hard and hot.
The long course is basically an Ironman, but over three days – swim 3.4K, cycle 112miles and a marathon, on each day you can do a shandy version, so I did the shandy half.
It was very hilly, they say it’s a hard one, but I had no idea quite how hard. I did only walk one hill (I think), but the time of 2:12:05 shows that it was the hardest to date (even though as I type this – 03/10/17 – I know there is a harder one, the nobbler is coming up)
I stopped and drank a lot, and was mega impressed by any of the guys and gals doing the long course – the marathon here will be tough.
