It was a cool, dry, night for a change. The course seemed as fast as ever, although I still think it would be even better if the whole course got re tarmacked. The stampede moved along until the last km when I could feel it pushing me on to the finish..with quite a few having the audacity to pass me in the last km to show that they had paced it better. Just a bottle of water at the finish; there's no T-shirt or medal for this one, just a high probability of a PB.

The race is always on Bank Holiday Monday as part of the Cilcain village show. They have lots of stalls and novelty acts like punch and Judy (the name may have changed), teddy bear parachute and tug of war to name a few. There was cheese and candyfloss. Unfortunately the pub ran out of burgers, but Terry was able to get two; I ate one of them. Penny Lane did ok on race prizes with Lenka coming second overall. I held on to the rolling series trophy for the three races (Clwydian Hills and Sheeptracks being the other two), so got to take the tree trunk trophy back to Liverpool from where it had come in the morning.
