Tired legs for this annual race in the Kilpatricks, perfect night, blue sky and a breeze once up on the hill. Jogged up the road near the back, reached the hill and jog / walked, well mostly walked, up on to the top.
Once on the top its an undulating run across the moor with a short steep drop back onto the track up beside the eastern end of Loch Humphrey, water stop as you rejoin the moor although got told I was not allowed to stop just because I was having a drink, on the moor its up and down over some minor hills and a couple of burns followed by 1/2 a lap of Greenside reservoir, difficult to keep your balance on the narrow path so close to the water.
Away from the reservoir its the last climb up the Slacks, about 300', then downhill all the way, this year crossing the fence by chair instead of a coffee table, don't tell the farmer. Join the outward route for a painful steep descent and then a 1/2 mile cruise down the road to the finish.
