Went for an easy run out on this bog and burn race in warm, dry & sunny conditions, probably good chance for a pb but took it easy in view of impending Glen Rosa on Saturday. Only other problem was the severe cough when effort increased to normal race pace...hope this goes away for GR.
Jogged up the road and then walked most of the first climb, as the path levelled out started to jog again. Kept going without getting out of breath over the moor and onto the farm road. Once off the track the route is a bit less smooth and had to work at minimising effort to avoid getting out of breath and the coughing fit which would follow.
Better path round the loch apart from the rocks but ok and walked 3/4 the way up the 2nd climb as well. Jogged the last part and ran from the trig point off the hill via the coffee table and back down to the road, steady pace back to the finish in just over 64, faster than expected, maybe there's something in taking it easy!
