The hills were covered in snow for this years Carnethy 5 - one of the biggest races in the Scottish Hill Racing calendar. Temperates were fairly pleasant at a few degrees above freezing with lots of boggy marsh at the foot of the hills and frozen ground and snow at the top. Climbing was difficult in the slippy conditions. Descending was like going down a ski slope with one section being a 10 m bum slide.
Overall a good run. Felt quite fit and certainly not too tired at the end. Time was poor but this was the same for everyone given the conditions.
