Race: North Wales XC Championships, Rhug, Corwen (11k)
Time/Position: 39.50 (15th from 61 [2nd V45])
Although it is almost always a small field at this event, my finishing position has slipped considerably over the six or seven times I've done it. Well off the pace last year, although times were quick and I fortunately won my category. This year was similar: boggy in the usual places, but I just kept the same plodding pace churning over, lacking any speed. I have always enjoyed this course, though, you can grind out a bit of a rhythm and the distant views of the Berwyn are always nice. Dry this year too, albeit cold. We had a strong team and won the overall team prize and the veteran's prize again.
