Records broken, but thankfully no bones, at the fast Tryfan Downhill Dash...

Records were broken, but thankfully no bones, at the Tryfan Downhill Dash, which saw many experienced mountain and fell runners taking part!
Dark Peak’s Euan Patton, not content with having the cheek by taking 39 seconds off my 34-year record of 8 minutes in 2023, he went a massive step again, by taking a further 35 seconds off his own record finishing in an unbelievable 6.46.
He finished ahead of three times winner Michael Corrales (The Goats) in 9.25. Insane, the word on the street is that his feet never actually touched the ground, and Sam Gunning took third place in 9.29.
The first lady was another re-known descender in Bethan Billing (Eryri Harriers), by taking 5th place overall – she took the 2nd fastest female time ever recorded of 11.51 - and gave her the U/19 and U/23 records, while Ali Thomas added the F60 record to her F 40 and F50 records , da iawn pawb.
*All the £1 entry fees plus some donations totalling £40 were accepted by the race M75 and M80 records holder Brian Robbins on behalf of the Ogwen MRS.
