Jogging the course watching the girls race + strides before the farcical start. Luckily I was in the pen as there were still about 200 runners trying to get in when they blew the cannon to start the race! I was doing strides at the back of the pen when the gun went so I was a bit off the front from the gun.

Running race (Southern XC Champs) 50:05 [5] 14.5 km (3:27 / km) +300m 3:08 / km
shoes: Asics Hyper LD

A classic cross country race and one I'm glad to have run. Nine miles of hill and mud and a good quality field to duke it out with. Took it easy up the first hill, gradually pulling through to the top 25. Got level with McPosh and Orlando - who also run for HBT and were my only reference points in the race - and sat at the front of their pack for the rest of first lap. The muddiest section was at the start of the lap and despite starting to suffer I started to pull away from the bunch. Had a good duel with an AFD runner for the rest of lap 2, he was faster on the flat dry bits but I had the upper hand on the hilly and muddy sections. Into the final lap and I started to have fun - knowing each climb up a hill was the last time you had to climb that particular hill made it somewhat easier and I was able to pull away to make certain of 12th. In the closing stages I could see 11th & 10th but the gap was too big.
Satisfied with 12th /1min behind bronze & added bonus was leading Highgate to team bronze - not a bad debut!

Trotter training Burns night celebrations. Easy run from the meadows down to Newhaven with sets of hill reps on the way. 3x1min on Mid meadows walk (2:50/km pace!), 4x1min on the back of Calton hill (last seen on leg 13-14 on Saturday) and finally 3x1min up from Starbank road (but not the super steep road beside the starbank inn sadly).
Also includes a very easy jog back home from Maggies with a belly full of Haggis and ale.
