White out conditions for the Tri_Trail race in the Pentlands. Weather was fine at home but on arrival at Threpmuir Reservoir the snow started and didn't stop for the whole race. A new event and first of a series this race brought a slightly different crowd of triathletes as well as hill runners. I started very slowly and was falling off the back of the field over the first half mile. Eventually moved forward into second last place and enjoyed a very slow paced jog in the freezing snowy temperatures. Was struggling a bit at Carlops but after snacks at Nine Mile Burn and a bit of a walk up the hill to Monks Rig I was pleased to run at a reasonable pace over the last couple of miles. Around 22 km in 2 hrs 43 mins. Tough but enjoyable.
