Running 31:16 4.79 km (6:31 / km) +115m 5:50 / km
ahr:121 max:134 shoes: VJ Falcon Aug 2015
With rucksack from the school up to the race. Timed to arrive about ten mins before the start. Got there to find my bumbag for the race was not in my rucksack....
Luckily was wearing most of my kit for the jog up, and Kirsten to the rescue with spare compass and bumbag!

Carnethy 5 2016, 124th place (of 499 finishers).
Very snowy and low vis (both Scald Law and Carnethy summits took me a bit by surprise) and ran whole race in leggings, helly and jacket, hat and gloves. Cold wind but not too strong. Better to be a runner than a spectator marshal in this stuff!
Snow a bit compacted by the studs of those ahead which was helpful - but the loose snow outside the line of runners made it tricky to overtake, particularly uphill. Times maybe 3-4mins (?) slower than in good conditions.
Wasn't too sure how it would go but fairly satisfied in the end. This is my third best position in twelve attempts (81st 2008 and 99th 2013) but conditions meant only my fifth best time - although in fact my closest re percentage behind the winner, very similar to that of 2008. The lead group were breaking the trail this year though, which would explain it...
Prasad won in 54:08, his first win and striking a blow for the V40s!
Splits
Scald Law 18:42
South Black Hill 3:38
East Kip 6:23
West Kip 4:08
Carnethy 28:05 (9:32 down to The Howe, 18:33 ascent)
Descent to finish 8:03
