Tinto Hill Race

My tenth go at this race, 200 plus starters, better than usual weather, dry and bright and not too cold or windy. Aim was to get back under 50 minutes after last years 50+PW , set off near the back, steady up to the gate, after the gate the climb starts, mixture of running the flatter bits and drop into a fastish walk on the steeper ramps. The second mile slower, there's more ascent, round the cairn, brakes off for the descent, managed to overtake quite a few only lost a few seconds waiting to get past someone on a narrow section just before the gradient eases, pushed on and happy to finish inside 50 mins about 40 seconds quicker than last year.


Ready for the off

Finished!
