Colin drove out west on saturday morning for the arrochar alps race - one of the longest and toughest in the hill running season, taking in the summits of 4 munroes. It was very very tough. The first hill was a long hard climb and then a very steep and treacherous descent. I reached the first cut-off just 1o minutes before the cut-off time. The next hill was long and hard and shrouded in mist making navigation very difficult. Time seemed to drag as I plodded up. Finally made the summit after 3 hrs 37 minutes by which time the winner had already been up all 4 peaks and finished. Quite amazing. Anyway - I had already missed the second cut-off time so I headed back down the hill for a long run back to the start and finish.
