Drymen to Conic Sat 19th April

Last long run before the next weeks Fling, went for a nice easy 10 mile jog along the WHW from Drymen to Conic hill and back to Drymen. Started at 8:10 probably the same time as we will reach Drymen as the race starts at 6:00 am in Milngavie.

Glorious sunshine with a strong cold wind in exposed parts and views of Loch Lomond to die for. Would have been a perfect day for the hills with cool clear air to refresh the soul but recovery and saving energy is the aim between now and next week.

Bought some energy products for next weeks race, Honey Stinger Gels and Energy Bars and tried one of the gels after the run, surprise it's like honey, a natural low GI source of carbs and also has electrolytes to keep the system working. Not long now.
