Caernarfon 10k border league

A slightly disappointing performance in the second border league fixture at Caernarfon yesterday. I'd had a streaming cold the day before and hadn't fully recovered, although I felt reasonably clear at the start of the race. The course followed the Caernarfon 10k course along the Menai Straits then inland over a series of hills, so wasn't particularly fast, but it has a splendid finish past the castle. My time of 39:18 was only good enough for 61st place in a strong field of 261 club runners, 14 places down on race 1 and a disappointing 50 secs slower than the Mold 10k six weeks ago. Still, glad I did it and an enjoyable race.
