Special Agent’s ‘SAS’ triumph

Louise Wood imageMother of three, Louise Wood, from Gibbs Gillespie in Gerrards Cross, came first in the female section of the Fan Dance run, a gruelling 24km race in the Brecon Beacons which features running up and down its highest mountain, Pen Y Fan.

Louise who was among 400 others, described her victory in the Clean Fatigue as “unexpected” and left her feeling euphoric, “When you hear the name Fan Dance it sounds easy fun but it’s far from it. The SAS use it in their training exercises and it is renowned among endurance runners for being really tough.

“I love running and trained for six months for this. When I reached the halfway point and a guy told me I was the first woman past I couldn’t believe it.

“It spurred me on, just thinking how proud my three boys would feel about their mum. When I reached the finished line I was emotional but really chuffed to have not only completed the course but to have won my category.”
