Caernarfon 10k

Race: Caernarfon 10k (North Wales championship)
Time/Position: 36.36 (9th from 210 [1st V50])
Only the second time I have ever done this route clockwise (from memory), which gets the hills out of the way early and means you benefit from a tailwind back along the Foryd. I went off a little too hard given lack of specific training, which was a shame as it meant I couldn't push along the Foryd, which should have been relatively comfortable. In fact, towards the end I really blew badly, just managing to hold it together but losing 20-30 seconds (I was aiming for half a minute quicker than this). I did have the consolation of first V50 in the race overall and the championships, to go with the 5k champs in Llanrug.
