Went off on Saturday to Traquair House for the Mighty Deerstalker Run. The race started on a pleasant saturday evening at 5.45 pm. The course went through lots of mud and water before climbing the first hill. Fast run down a mountain bike course and then through town and a 100m walk along a freezing river as darkness descended. The second big hill then followed with what felt like a pretty dangerous climb up a steep scree slot. Down through the forest and through waste high drainage channel to finish at Traquair House. Felt pretty strong throughout and came home at a decent pace. Great fun race although I do think it's an accident waiting to happen with some of the runners our for 4 1/2 hours on a freezing cold evening after running through freezing water at several points along the way.
522 place of 1673.
