Carnethy 5 version 2
A race report from each Captain – we’re spoiling you…
Things that were completely grim about this race
- The wind speed
- The purple tights of the man who wrestled me out of the way on the Carnethy scree section
- Katie’s broken finger
- The dash across the first lumpy field
- Ally’s post-Westie-Wonder-Bus hangover
- JD beating me in the last 300 metres
- The Southside bus stop location
- Observing an Edinburgh runner putting her bag down in a substance that probably wasn’t dog poo
- My long run the next day
- Niall stealing all the good photos for his race report
Things that were great about this race
- Chris McKiddie’s post-race knitwear
- Chris Furse’s epic stride up Carnethy to try & chase down Alistair Boyer
- My 11 minute improvement on last year’s time (couldn’t bring myself to leave that bit out)
- New shoes from the Pete Bland stall
- Tom E going back to run the last 500m with Katie (aww newlyweds)
- Being dropped off directly at the pub after the race
- No-one trusts my driving enough to make me drive the mini-bus
Overall, would recommend.
I did try my best to avoid beating you, sorry!
So many questions you could’ve answered with photos that Niall didn’t use. Knitwear….
