Llangollen parkrun

'Race': Llangollen parkrun
Time/Position: 18.09 (5th from 98)
A fairly new event, just a few weeks in, which is formally called the Old Railway Trail parkrun as it follows the defunct line. A very strong field, rather unexpectedly, which meant that the start was far faster than I had intended or anticipated - 3.20/km pace all the way out to Wenffrwd. As a result, I started to struggle for the twisty little climb at the far end, and slowed just a little for the double loop run-in. Not the most satisfying of courses, but nice enough (gravel, but quite fast) and it offers delightful warm-down options! I opted for a 6k+ loop around the tranquil lanes of Ty'n Ddwr circling the little hill back to town.
