This year has seen huge success at a very high standard Welsh Castles Team Relay. I am very proud to have managed such a wonderful team and support crew. Without you it would not be possible for B&R to compete at this prestigious event. Below are a few thank you's i would like to say.
THANK YOU's
- Firstly to absolutely everyone involved, it’s a big commitment to run and support at this event and you all deserve a pat on the back. You were all fantastic, it’s an expensive and time-consuming event to commit to and you all deserve big thank you's.
Andy Freeman / Len Quartly
- These 2 were absolute rocks at my side through the whole 7 months of organising this year. I can’t tell you how important you are to helping me manage what can be a tough event at times.
Support Crew
- To all nine who traveled the whole journey in torrential storms on Friday to glorious sunshine on Sunday. Sally Hogan / Tamara Ball and John Dineen supported and marshaled this year and did not run. A massive THANK YOU to you three. Also I must point out that John Dineen had seven athletes he coaches run this year and 6 finished in the top 15 with a stage record and stage victory. Your coaching and support is fantastic.
Sally Hogan
- Sally was instrumental for me this weekend, we had a 12 hour journey through hell on Friday and without her i would of stopped and gone home half way. She was there every second for me! All the 3 days she sat next to me in the car, ringing, texting, organising postcodes and supporting. THANK YOU!
P.S. See you all next year and i have had several requests for legs already! POPULAR DEMAND I say :)
