Dash in the Dark

Race: Dash in the Dark, Race 1 (6k+/200m)
Time/Position: 30.10 (6th from 97)
One of the nice things about these races from Llandegla is the constant course alterations, almost never the same route twice. I have been doing them for many years, although missed last season through illness. This route seemed meatier than that of two winters ago, with an initial descent (like old times) followed by a long climb to the northern edge of Llandegla. From the edge of the road, the route climbed back towards the lake where it took a confusingly circuitous route around the eastern edge before a long southern loop through the forest to finish back at the centre. All of the sections were familiar from previous events, but weren't necessarily taken in the same order! Ian H pelted off very rapidly to win overall so I just concentrated on keeping a reasonable pace ticking over with Sunday's border league fixture in mind.
