Ben Rinnes Hill Race

About 160 runners for the first long race in the 2018 SHR Championship. Date coincided with the start of our annual Lossiemouth holiday so we went up on the Friday. Change of weather for the race, rain, wind and sleet to keep us cool. Took it easy over the Convals on the way out then tried a steady jog up Ben Rinnes, Kept it going for about 2/3 of the way up then jog walk, the wind alternatively helping and hurting on the zig zags. Through the summit tor and steady run down to the road crossing/water station at Glack Horner before a slow climb back up Meikle Conval, along to the last hill, Little Conval, and tried to push the pace, nothing much there and pleased to get over the top and start running down to finish inside 3 hours 15 with a lap of the games field.
