Marsh Tracks 5k

Race: Marsh Tracks 5k (Rhyl)
Time/Position: 17:11 (7th from 49 [3rd V40])
My slowest 5k for several years, although I felt reasonably good throughout the race and was quite surprised when I saw the time. The course is flat, with a superb smooth surface - very like Ty Croes last month, although this is actually a road cycling circuit in the wilds of West Rhyl - so no excuses can be found there. However, there was a sharp headwind which affected half of the 1k+ loop, so therein perhaps lies the explanation. Still, it was a good workout under floodlights and combined very well with a family visit to St Asaph with M.
