| Pentland Skyline race. Really tough. The weather was hot and my feet still suffering a bit from the previous weekends orienteering. First half of the race went fairly well although I suspect I was a bit slower than 2 years ago. Started to really toil in the second half with bad blisters making running at speed very painful. Kept going but only just and finished with a fairly poor time although I suspect there were quite a few slow runs in the hot weather.
Poor quality socks may have been partly to blame for the blister and possibly also a plaster getting loose in the sock. |
