Race: North Wales virtual road relays 4k
Time/Position: 14.30 (3rd V50)
Another virtual North Wales championship race, this time a relay event over the novel distance of 4k. Even I have never raced 4k before, although I did once manage a sub-10 minute 3k. With a weekend in Conwy, I decided to run the Morfa loop (past the football club and through the marina) from the high school: this was not ideal, as I forgot that it has two cattle grids and is only 2.8k! So there was too much slowing down, reversing and turning over the last 1k as I tried to make up the distance. I was hoping to duck under 14 minutes so this was rather disappointing. A family walk to Aber Falls for a picnic was a nice way to stretch the legs.
