Event: EUOC Big Weekend
9 AM
Running warm up/down 8:40 [3] 1.0 mi (8:40 / mi)
Running race 21:45 [4] 3.3 mi (6:35 / mi) +60m 6:14 / mi
Tollcross parkrun - 6th, 21:45
The only parkrun on in the Central Belt.
4 x out and back in the snow, with a bit of a hill on the way back.
Legs aching straight away so took it steady in view of race later.
Leader 2 mins ahead, could I have run 2 mins quicker? Unlikely I'd say.
Enjoyed it, and much credit to the event team for not giving up.

Urban Orienteering race 1:15:40 [4] 9.9 mi (7:39 / mi) +330m 6:56 / mi
Edinburgh City Race - 3rd - race voided
(Not sure about that climb that strava tells me)
Sensible decision to void the race
Ran fairly hard when I could but was tip toeing on the icy sections, mainly in the council estate to the east which was treacherous. Not happy with route choices on the legs W-E into and out of that area either.
Otherwise, not bad.
Good to have a longer distance urban race.
