Balloch Park X Country Sat 2nd Dec

Welcome weather window for Saturday mornings 3 lap race round Balloch Park, gone were the gales and downpours of the last few days replaced by damp calm. Suprisingly puddle free with only 3 or 4 patches of gloo.

Scenic course with a good mix of short and long hills along with a few soft bits. The new path along the bottom is a bit easier than the old muddy one but in general the surface underfoot was quite soft & slippy which saps energy from the legs, so no overall gain.

1st lap too quick and suffered with each lap progressively slower to finish in just over 37 mins.
