Run race 24:24 [4] 5.97 km (4:05 / km) +40m 3:57 / km
Harvey Fun Run, Doune
6k course from the playpark down the railway track, across the trials bike area, back road to Argaty, up into the woods and into new housing estate then a lap of Doune Ponds before finishing.
Not a very well attended race. But I'm no road runner. The pace out along the tarmac was too fast for me and I settled into 4th with a Dunblane Runners guy on my shoulder. He had a really small and slappy stride which annoyed the hell out of me. Even worse was that I couldn't get away from hime when it turned up hill and off-road! Coming into the new housing estate I went where the map showed and so went the wrong way - took me 5 meters and a U turn to sort it so the guy got in front. Got back to him round the ponds and I had fire in my belly for a sprint finish to get my hard-earned 4th spot back.
A fun little race with a very local atmosphere. Sue Harvey ran.. It was won in 23. Hannah ran the 2.5k race and got 4th placed female and won a special prize for first U6 and smiliest person at the event! Love it.
