Pentlands Skyline - 9th
Happy with this, really didn't expect anything close to this time. Started with Tim, Tam and Ali. Got to flottlertone feeling ok. Going up Turnhouse I noticed sasha had stopped and waited for us (very kind of him). So very wisely I latched onto the back of him. At the top I had a 50m gap on Tim and Tam. The wise this to do here would be to wait, but I didn't because I'm not very wise. Managed to stay ahead of them right up to the kips which came as a bit of a surprise. Ran with these 2 lovely blokes over hare hill, then got spat on the decent because I have shite terrain tekkers. Just about caught them again by the top of Black hill, before swiftly getting dropped on the following decent. Mr Masson came flying past me at the bottom of Bell's Hill. I now started to feel the bonk but kept grinding away so Ali only had a 50m gap at the top. Basically from here to the finish I suffered a huge amound but maintained the gap to Ali until the final decent where he pulled away a bit more. Very happy to be mixing it with the Dalkeith trio, although I did fell like a bit of a 4th wheel at time ;)

Damp misty lap of the seat with the wife. Weirdly fun and not feeling to bad.

Hungover plod round the meadows with Tom, Max and Finn

A big juicy gossip round the meadows with the boys. Very enjoyable.

Blackford with Dan. Felt like for of a grind than it should have done. Just not feeling the best today but still enjoyable.

Seat run with EUOC. Very nice day, maybe even a bit on the warm side. Didn't feel great for the first bit due to some last minute munching but felt better near the end. Didn't do to much want to save legs for the weekend.

KF Session: 3x8min (2)

This was nice. Felt good, running with a good pack of boys this evening. Pace was nice and even and generally under 3:30s so that was good. Got a bit of a stitch near the end but managed to keep going fine. Didn't get my dick out until the last 2mins of the last rep. Felt bad becuase I'd been telling people the whole session not to 'whip em out.'

Big WD round the seat with a large group of boyos.

Did many arm things. So huge now!
