Ring of Fire

John Bottomley took part in the Ring of Fire and has composed the following race report:

“135 miles round the Isle of Anglesey over 3 days:

1st man: ohn Bottomley DPFR 23hrs 23 cumulative time

1st Lady: Patrizia Sini 29hrs 09

(no other DPs present)

Continuing with the summer trend, it was too hot the first 2 days & ok
on the 2nd. There are no mountains & barely a hill en route; the coastal
path does also deviate inland frequently & follow roads so you also get to
run over/through all types of landscape. The event is very well supported by a
small army of v. friendly/experienced marshalls & the whole event has a kind
of ‘family’ feel to it as most of the event staff & marshalls are from
Anglesey. I really enjoyed it overall & it gave me the intro to multiday
events I wanted but yes, the route wasn’t as interesting as I hoped
for.”
