The second long race in the Scottish Championships. An interesting route from the Creaggan Inn to the Clachaig Inn near Glencoe. Lots of very remote hillside to traverse over generally rough and boggy ground with a few segments more rocky.
I set off very trepidatious with low expectations and hoping just to finish without embarrassing myself. I started slow and was in last place for around 20 minutes before starting to pass a few runners over the course of the next hour. The good news was that the legs held up well and I was able to finish feeling reasonably strong and able to run on the pathed bits of the last few kilometres. A really great race and was delighted to do well enough to get 2 championship points on the MV40 competition.
Running time was 4 hrs 58 minutes and came in 191% of the winning time.
