Muchty Run

Made it to the 5k Auchtermuchty race tonight (Wednesday). A tiny wee village in Fife. Registration was full of smurfs, Popeyes and all kinds of fancy dress costumes. I felt the odd one out for a change! However, come 6.30pm it was clear that this lot were in the pram race. This coincided with the heavens opening up! Good to watch as they all sped off one after one (think it was a time trial). By the time 7pm came it was still pouring as we all huddled together at the start and hummed the tune to singing in the rain! No warm up for me beforehand, just peeled off my top and got on the start line. The route was an out and back, and I suppose it was similar our own time trial, but going up to the windfarm instead. Time 21.34 and think I made a top 10 place! Not too sure what to make of it? Obviously you lose time on the climb, but possibly make it all up on the way down. Another day - another race!

Well done George, 6 races in a week. You will become a runner yet.
