Foxtrails Winter Series Race at Dunbar

Great run this morning at Dunbar in the FoxTrail Winter Running Series. Nice course through John Muir Country Park with good marshalling and signage. Just the right number of runners - never crowded but always some-one within 30 m ahead. Pleased with my time of just under 1 hr 10 mins over 13 km of muddy trail. 21st race of the year (or 44th counting orienteering races).

SOSOL at The Hirsel

A short trek down to Coldstream for the 4th South of Scotland Orienteering League event of the year. It was nice parkland for this event which made for reasonably easy and fast running. It was cold but the sun shone making for a very pleasant event. Second last (of 9) on the longest course.

Miami

Work took me to Miami to speak at a conference so I tagged on a weekend at Miami Beach. Tough eh!

Dumyat Dash


Nice run at Dumyat on a new shorter course. The race starts in Menstrie at the southern foot of the Ochils. The race started with a steep lung busting climb and then a section of around a km skirting the hill before a long painful climb to the summit at 418 m height. Great downhill charge back to the start again.

Results not in yet but felt I'd done reasonably well.
