NORTH WALIANS CLAIM MEDALS ON ULTRA DEBUTS
Months of hard slog and determination - plus advice and support from someone who's been and done it before - brought rich rewards for two North Wales veterans.
George Nicholls (Prestatyn) and Jenni Richards (Abergele) made their ultra-distance debuts in the Barry 40, which involved 160 laps of the Jenner Park track.
Both were supported by experienced ultra-runner Sean McCormack and his son Stephen who had also helped them during their training, and their encouragement and attention proved vital.
Despite an almost inevitable bout of cramp George completed the 40 miles in 5-39.02 to take bronze in the Welsh championship, while Jenni finished in 6-08.09 for second place in the ladies, competition.
