Race: Deeside/Kelsterton, Border League round 4 (4.5m)
Time/Position: 25.21 (33rd from 371 [3rd V45])
After yesterday's exertions into a headwind at the Twin Piers 10k, this was another damage limitation exercise. But, having missed two league races already this season, it was just an attempt to try to help out as best I could. It is, mercifully, a short circuit, which hasn't featured in the league since 2014. The only problem is that it incorporates the sharp climb up Kelsterton hill after a manic new start on the Deeside track with almost 400 runners squeezed in! The climb went OK in the circumstances. I made up some places on the long descent back to the stadium, but still finished in my worst league position for many years (possibly since 2008).
