Taking part in the 2nd race in this years SHR championship meant a long drive for a short race, a round trip of nearly 300 miles. The race was taking place a mile outside Banchory about 20 miles north of Fettercairn.
Over 100 runners took part in the race which involved a double ascent of Scolty hill, and was run on forrest track and most combinations of hill paths in between. The race started and finished at the forrest car park. A bit too warm in the forrest and not much of a breeze at the top either.
Ran with the HRM as my stopwatch strap had snapped. Set the limits at 160-180 with the aim of 160+ at all times, and only dropped below 160 once when the low HR alarm beeps warned I was getting tired and losing concentration at the start of the 2nd climb up Scolty hill, soon put that right and even hit highest ever (180+) on the run in to the finish.
