'Race': Erddig Parkrun
Time/Position: 19.37 (2nd from 165)
Quite a contrast to last Saturday's pressure, a nice trot around a route I hadn't done before. It is one of the better Parkruns, a really nice loop around the enormous Erddig grounds, starting in front of the stately home and pelting through thick mud to gain a mini-loop before heading back to the house, and out for a long lap through the main parkland out towards Rhostyllen. It was drizzly, dank and misty throughout: wet and awkward underfoot in places. After a mile or so, I moved into the lead and stayed there until just before the final steep climb to the finish. Another runner had stayed close behind (we were a minute clear of third place) but I couldn't keep up with him as he pulled ahead by 11 seconds. A tad tired after last night's Collie run, but a really enjoyable course which we'll definitely revisit.
