Moel Famau fell race

Race: Cilcain Mountain Race (4m/1237ft)
Time/Position: 34:29 (13th/166)

My sixth running of this race, and a very narrow PB for the course. Interestingly, my times have been virtually the same (literally within a few seconds of each other) for the last three years. Couldn't match last year's 8th place, though, presumably due to a stronger field. Kept it going reasonably well to the summit in humid and overcast conditions, and took 2 or 3 on the steep initial descent before struggling slightly to maintain the pace lower down (lack of recent intervals showed). My studs are almost worn through, which didn't help traction in the muddier than usual conditions. Always a nice family day out.
