Screel Hill race
Leaving torrential rain and sleet in Glasgow didn't really seem like a good idea at the time, particularly for a mamoth four hour round trip to run a tiny wee four mile race, but in the end it was a good decision.
The weather was actually warm, with clear views (according to Cat who apparently stopped to admire the views and pick some flowers) and there was a decent turnout of over 40 runners.
The course was a bloody nightmare with lots of small, jutty, wet rock mixed with dark forest and tree roots grabbing at your feet. I'm glad I finished in one piece.
One to avoid unless you like dancing instead of running.
Results
1. Euan Jardine 32 minutes (appox.)
27. Blair 41.41
35. Cat 49.03
39. Drew 52.14

Gone are the days when even a slow Westie like me could do this race in 32:30ish
What are the younger generation coming to?
