bedlam_g Tough head wind again with the addition this week of lots of hills.  Very tired obviously not recovered from Benbecula as well as I thought had, my time would have been worse if not saved by getting passed by a team mate at 8 miles who generously gave me a tow to the finish.  Sneaked 5th place for final prize and also part of the winning team prize.  Ironically the Heb 3 has been blown wide open (in a good way) with the front runner finishing behind me and 4th place in Stornoway finishing 2nd in 1.19.

Scobos No warmup (silly!), so tight left hamstring caused a fair bit of grief...stopped to stretch it 3 times (at 2, 8 and 9 miles). Couldn't really stride out on the downhills. Happy enough to take 3rd, but could have been a couple of minutes quicker on another day. Some excellent, if bizarre prizes, and some quality scoff afterwards. Shettleston Harriers 1:12:42 1:14:50 1:20:08 73.67
Torbeg Trotter Sneaked in just under 2hrs - best I could muster after being hit by man flu in the week leading up to the race. Team mates faired a great deal better and HEB3 T-shirt still on the cards. Course well marked and marshalled, post race grub top-notch Helensburgh AAC 1:49:46 1:49:46 1:59:58 51.47
