Mountain Marathon race 3:51:15 [5] 17.8 km (12:59 / km) +830m 10:32 / km
(sick)
Grampian Mountain Challenge Day 1 (17.8 km, 830 m) with Alice in 3:51:15. Nice orienteering section to start but then felt dreadful on the first mountain leg,with Alice bounding ahead full of the joys of Spring. Leg up to 2 a real slog, and would have happily given up at number 2. Leg to 3 (contouring, not climbing) was a bit better, and managed to hold it together to the end without ever feeling that I was doing more than struggling to hang on. We took the path option to number 6. Pleased with all our navigation and route choices. However, Alice would probably have been able to run at least 30 minutes quicker without me.
