Trail/terrain running race 1:37:00 20.3 km (4:47 / km)
Run of the Mill.
Good conditions, wet underfoot but dry, only cloud on Ben Cleuch and not too windy.
Went off hard (too hard) and was regretting it all the way up towards King's Seat. Felt better once on Andrew Gannel. Back tightened up a bit on the top, and tried to relax my running style. Felt a bit better descending and took a comfortable win.
Nice route - although I don't enjoy the 2 mile run out to Tillicoultry at the start. 20-30s slower on that section probably could make the climb 1 min faster (?).
Recce-ing the Run of the Mill route. Ran the race last year, but wanted to check the lines in a few places. Ended up running quite fast - faster than planned anyway, and was sore after!
Very wet in the Ochils at the moment, but weather can't be worse than last year.
First proper lamp run of the winter.
Slow trudge round usual Strathallan loop with the double pirate extension (in that I pass the pirate cave twice). Legs tired after the weekend and a day surveying in Paisley - probably only one more day survey left.
