Race: Abergele 5m (Border League race 4)
Time/Position: 29.28 (44th from 350)
A slight variant on the usual seaside course from Pensarn, in that there was no break through the caravan site. Instead, the race headed west into a stiff headwind before turning back for a long tailwind blast to the Pensarn car park, then a punishing final 1km into the full headwind at which point all the groups had broken up. So it was a tough finish, which cost 20-30 seconds on what would otherwise have been a reasonable time for me by recent standards. That said, I have run 28.00 on the 5 mile course here in the past, so there's still plenty of room for improvement.
