Stoneymollen Thurs 3rd April

15 runners took part in this years club race over Stoneymollen. Weather was kinder to us than last weeks snow, freezing water etc etc. Good to have the opportunity to run off road with the lighter nights. Used the staggered start so that we all finished closer together.

Caught in no pace land, didn't want to push too hard but still hoped for a reasonable time so kept it steady up to the top of the Stoney, then toughish run over waterlogged moors but managed to run most of the hills and even pick up the pace a bit along the top past the trig point and its nearly all down hill form there apart from a couple of wee hills.

The run back down slippy in parts so ran in the heather to the side of the sheep track, harder but faster. Delightful swamp after the style then onto the farmtrack for a blast back to the club. Happy to finish just under 45 mins, about 4 mins slower than last year!
