Race: Foel Lus (Joe Brown midweek series, race 3: 3.5m/2000ft)
Time/Position: 26.30
My debut in the Eryri midweek series after 14 years of mountain running: not too sure why it has taken so long! I had returned from the Balkans on Sunday, and we all headed across to Conwy this morning. As this race starts in Capelulo it seemed rude not to have a quick blast. An excellent short circuit: fast and furious, taking the start of the Pen race route then branching off to take in the summit of Foel Lus before descending to the north and picking up the superb level contouring path visible from the A55. This must have some of the best views in North Wales, right out over the Menai Strait and beyond (perfect clarity tonight: sunny and cool). I picked up a few places, benefiting slightly from my meagre remaining road speed, before a grassy descent down towards Fairy Glen and back to Capelulo.
