Last Scottish champs race at Beinn Resipol. Still not feeling great and if I didn't need it to complete the champs I probably wouldn't have run. Feeling better than yesterday and hoping I could push through and feel alright. Started at a pace that maybe would have been a touch fast on a normal day. Held on ok for 10 minutes or so on the climb and started to go backwards. A bit further up I had a brief stint where I pushed a bit harder again in the hope I might get going but it didn't last long. Stopped on the climb and got my jacket on and kept plodding up. Descent was horrible and muddy. Would have struggled on a normal day but really no motivation to go for it today. Jogging down losing places until I got to the good track where I hammered it to get a few places back.
