Beautiful night for this undulating out and back 5 mile race, sunshine & a breeze, perfect conditions underfoot with only one boggy bit set up for a good time but Ben Lomond effort still in the legs.
Race starts in Stirling Uni Campus onto a track and road behind and then onto the hill via the not so bluebell woods - spring is a bit later this year. Good path all the way to the top with only the usual bog before the last climb. Just over a minute down on the climb, too easy.
Descent is normally a blast but took it steady as the legs were complaining and did not want to end up in casualty. Still managed to take a few on the way down, with none passing me, one guy put in a big effort and almost got away especially uphill back along the track but hung on and took him with 200m to go. Descent probably too easy as well but didn't feel secure enough to really push it.
