The 2009 Beacons Ultra, starting from the small village of Talybont-on-usk near Brecon is a great introduction to the world of Ultra running.  Well that's what it said on the website so who am I to argue.  

After much internal debate I settled on attempting an ultra marathon before I'd even had a go at a conventional marathon, I'd have plenty of time to do a marathon during my training (I did 3 in the end).  

I got through my training unscathed and as the day drew nearer the nerves became more apparent, but I felt confident, I'd done a lot of training, I new I could do it! (I also new that I wasn't going to brake any records in the process)
