Event: Dunblane Road Race
12 PM
Running race 51:03 [5] 11.85 km (4:18 / km) +176m 4:01 / km
shoes: Asics Hyperspeed
Dunblane Hydro road Race, 7.5 miles. 18th place.
1pm start time.
Temperature already at 25 degrees when I was driving up there....
Quite an undulating course with a brutal uphill at the end to finish outside the main entrance to the Hydro.
Not quite sure what sort of shape I am in.
All of which made starting relatively quickly quite a tough way to run the race! Had to throttle things back a little bit when in around 10th after the first km or so and let a few people pass me (including the first two women, who went on to 4th and 5th overall).
Didn't pass or get passed after about 3.5miles although according to the results (if not reality) the person in 19th finished only 1 second behind.
Thought I might have run 50minutes but times generally maybe a bit slower in the heat - plus it is net uphill of course....
Enjoyable afternoon chilling/recovering at the Longhursts afterwards - thank you!

Warm up jog with Will plus some stretching.

Far too hot to warm down in fact.

Putting on the WEE on the extended map of Polmaise. Nice day for it!
Put out the Yellow and then out again to put out Orange and Green.
Didn't drink enough during the day for terrain running in 25 degrees so flagging a bit in the tough terrain in Murray's Wood at the end of the Green.
Perked up after some water and people enjoying the courses, in time to head out for collecting most of Orange and Green (Robin Purves got a bit bored waiting for his dad so helped out with collection for the Yellow...). Four controls in Murray's Wood left for another day.
Pretty weary by the end.

Running 56:40 7.0 km (8:06 / km) +300m 6:40 / km
shoes: Inov8 Mudroc 2012
Up behind the house, up to the stile then 8x30/40s up and down the spur leading to Touch woodland. Caught MC back up at the gate and along to the quarry with a quick 30s uphill sprint from there. Then down through the village and back past Gargunnock House. Very enjoyable jaunt.
