Two Breweries Hill Race - Saturday 23rd September 2017

So to my third Scottish Long Championship race, and second time running this one; I couldn't persuade KA to join me this year. 

It's an early start but easy drive to Broughton, not as far as I had thought. Plenty of time to have some tea and porridge and sort kit before boarding the bus to Traquair House. Now just 29km and 1700m of ascent / descent, plus lots of heather, tussocks and bog lies between me and my car ! Love it !!

The earlier blue skies disappear and are replaced with overcast skies and, on the summits, mist and drizzle, but still much better weather than last year. I run well and feel ok, with a strong finish. 4:09 for me this year, I'm happy with that.
