Running warm up/down 1:10:00 [3] 14.4 km (4:52 / km)
shoes: Asics GT2000 #8 - Blue
So the steps on the River Almond walkway really are closed now.
Running race 14:50 [3] 5.0 km (2:58 / km)
shoes: Asics Hyperspeed #2
Scottish 5km Champs.
3:09 - sitting deep in the pack, out the wind.
2:57 - moved up to be in decent position at the turn.
2:55 - sailing along, swapping positions with Poo Boy and Jonny.
2:53 - gap ahead: gutted myself to try and close it before turning back into the wind. Jonny dropped off.
2:56 - failed but thankfully Poo Boy moved to the front after the turn. Relaxed behind him for a bit then pushed on. Closed gap to Andoug and Meekness with ~300m to go, again relaxed behind them for a few strides then went for the line and just about held on.
14:50 for 8th place. I think the tactical running took my mind off the PPPlegs.
HBT AlpHaBeT challenge: D is for Doom Bar (Sharps, 4.0%) in the Haymarket Bar.
Trotters awarded team silver medals based on the chip times, 4pts ahead of EAC. I think/hope we'll still have them once the scrutinised results come out, but wouldn't be surprised if it was closer!
