Fine night for this bog and burn race, 6 miles & 1700' of ascent, starting above Lennoxtown at Jamie Wright's Well with a steep climb to the Lairs then an undulating run to Cort Ma Law and on to Lecket Hill, a sharp descent into a gully with the climb back out taking you to join the outward route.
Dry conditions meant only sporadic marshes to pick your way through and managed to stay on top of the floating green mush. Only came a cropper when straying too far from the path? into the gulley and found a ditch to lie down in for a second or two just after flying past 3 or 4 runners, they kept to the path but didn't catch me!
Steady plod out the gulley over tussock and muck but managed to pick up the pace after rejoining the outward track. Couldn't quite catch the runner in front but managed to keep the guy behind at bay with a good run in to finish in 62 1/2 mins, PB by 2 mins.
