Mugdock Trail Race
Westies vs Glasgow Uni Hares & Hounds trail race at Mugdock Country Park. The route is 10.8 km, and follows scenic trails through woodland and along part of the West Highland Way. Ellie, John Hutch and myself marked out the course last night after Ben Venue.
16 runners are recorded, however Ana Talbot also ran, but setting off well in advance, plus Johannes pushed Beatrice around the course in a baby buggy, and Tim Austin managed to cajole his dog Valentino around the route, albeit with a reluctant start that cost Tim the fastest time.
Neah Evans (daughter of 7 times Ben Nevis winner Ros Coates) won the handicap, and I posted the fastest time with 44:39. I predicted a time of 43 minutes, but the duck boards were super slippery, so that must have cost a few seconds.
We will hopefully run this route again during the Spring 2011.

Thanks to Chris and Ellie for all their efforts in this - setting the course after running Ben Venue...such a well marked course that amazingly no-one got lost, organising us all into a sensible (ish!) handicap times, rewarding our efforts with prizes and then clearing up all those helpful markings after we'd all gone home. Where did they find the energy to get the fastest times in the handicap as well!!?
I really enjoyed it - especially the mudbath section at the beginning! What a great way to wake up on Sunday!
