Well there's only a week to go! Had a fantastic training run with Tom (runs downhill like he's on a tarmac path) Sutherland today.
Tom drove us up to Linn O Dee car park outside Braemar. From here we cycled in to Derry Lodge (this is the first cut-of point in the race next week).
Left the bikes there and we ran in to the Lairig Ghru for me to get my head around the terrain, ascent, conditions. We went as far as the Corrour Bothy (or just shy of it) before turning round and running back to bikes for the return cycle.
I enjoyed it today as well John. It reminded me how tough the underfoot conditions can be for big sections of the course.
ReplyDeleteIt made me wish I was running it with you next week......
...........NOT!
Nice one guys. Really looking forward to seeing how you get on & how much (if at all!!) you enjoy it.
