Lairig Ghru take two.
Felt a bit rubbish at the start: it seems like I really do need my long warmups. Got into a nice rhythm once we got off the tarmac and quickly the miles started passing by. Bit of a headwind all the way but nice and cool - only drank 1/2 litre of water in total.
I couldn't remember any of the split times I thought I needed to hit so it was nice to get to 33km and realise a 40 minute 10km would get me the record. Got properly charging through the woods to make sure of it though - broke the record by over 6 minutes in the end!
Didn't feel completely wrecked afterwards either. I suspect I will tomorrow though!
