Trail / Terrain Run race (DR Festive Relay - GTanar) 52:35 [5] 11.0 km (4:47 / km) +294m 4:13 / km
This hurt a lot last year, I remember now. Too late, it hurt a lot today too.
Had forgotten how far it was too. Hmm...maybe that climb up to Toms Cairn yesterday wasn't such great prep..
..nevertheless
45 seconds quicker than last year.
Interminable but gentleish climb for the first 5km then the short sharp climb at the back of Bawdy Meg. Toiling up the first behind BobS, SaraH, MilesN, and ColinL with them going further and further away then DirkW (hungover) came past close to the star of the steep bit. RichardI was just behind. Once at the top things improved and chased Dirk all the way down finally passing him and Colin at about 9. Overtook Sara in the last 200m as usual but Dirk came past again unfortunately. Bob not too far ahead but Miles long gone.
Good fun in a strange kind of way.

Trail / Terrain Run 1:26:27 [3] 12.6 km (6:52 / km) +410m 5:54 / km
shoes: Inov8 Mudclaw 300 Gr/Bl
Torqu, Craigmore, Toms Cairn direct loop with SD. Nice chatty pace and weather quite atmospheric. Lost direction in Toms Cairn plantation and added a small loop. The only other time I've done this circuit I did it 5 seconds slower...lets call it good pace judgement. Very enjoyable in spite of being up at 3am to take k to the airport.

Dear oh dear
Good concentration to 7 with limited time lost then missed the boulder on the hill, no. 8, big time. Came back in off the fence corner and still missed it. Then made a pigs ear of 11 in the ruins too...not focusing well by then.
Good course and enjoyed it. Shame about 8 as there were good points to be had tonight.

Trail / Terrain Run 1:12:47 [3] 9.3 km (7:50 / km) +547m 6:03 / km
Led astray by some dubious characters in Edinburgh last night.:-) Good beer and chat, thanks guys, but paying the penalty this morning so needed to get out and cleanse the soul!
Wanderings on Arthur's Seat from Holyrood House. Felt heavy but nice to be out and on high.
