Prestatyn parkrun

'Race': Nova Prestatyn parkrun
Time/Position: 18.47 (4th from 87 [1st V50])
I've struggled along the Ffrith prom into headwinds on various occasions in the past: it used to feature in the border league and other races from Rhyl. Bracing conditions this morning, with a brisk crosswind, high tides and bright sunshine. Morgan was making his debut at parkrun, and indeed any kind of running event, and did superbly well. It is a nice course, fast down the prom towards Rhyl with waves crashing, then a tough off-road section through the dunes. This is a mixture of gravel, soft sandy paths and tussocks, before a very fast second half back east to the OD monument. I finished 1 second inside the V50 course record.
