Swansea Half Marathon 2024 – PB Opportunity?

I gave myself a week of preparation to try beat my PB at Swansea Half Marathon!

I actually set my PB on this course last year in the blistering heat, this year was an opportunity to try beat my previous time of 1:28.30…especially 3 weeks after Ironman 70.3 Mallorca!

Well…..

Half marathon PB!! 🙌🏻🏁

Swansea Half Marathon- 1:23:32 (93rd overall)🏃🏻

It’s certainly harder knowing the course and entering six days ago didn’t help! Luckily, the weather was certainly better than last year and felt very good considering I haven’t run anywhere near the distance.

It’s probably the first race I actually paced myself well and not going off like a rocket 🚀

Congrats to all the 3,800 runners and thanks to all the support out on course, especially the Ferry Flatliner’s support group 👏🏼 👏🏼
