Some great performances at Snowdon International Mountain
Race on Saturday (9.4 miles & 3,300 feet of ascent). A very high standard race as it was round 4
of the Mountain Running World Cup organised by the World Mountain Running
Association / IAAF
Brilliant to see Scout Adkin put in such a fabulous run as
part of the Scotland team (2nd left in team photo).
This is how Scottish Athletics explained it: SNOWDON SUCCESS
– The Scottish women’s team took 2nd place, with SCOUT ADKIN the first Scot
home in 1.23.08 for 5th place.
Scout commented: "a great race - I
felt good on the climb but the leaders were too fast at the start and had too
much of a lead for me to try and regain some time on them. The descent for me
was the usual case of try and loose the least number of positions possible!
Losing one female position is quite good going for me. Pleased with my race,
first big race back for a while in a world-class field."
Andy Cox was also in action with a super solid run and
finished 1:24:17, 74th of out 609. Well done!
Ex Moorfoot Sarah McCormack of Ireland was running too truly
delivered as pre-race favourites as current leader of the World Cup as she romped
the ladies race, fastest time since the 1980s , 11 seconds off the record!!
