Mountain run/walk 6:40:00 [3] 23.0 km (17:23 / km) +2350m 11:31 / km
shoes: Black Inov8 Apr17
Forgot my watch so some notes on route: parked in Balquhidder glen and headed along the track westwards, then ascended straight up Beinn a’Chroin. Sketchy route choice down through the rocks to the bealach, then down to the lower pass and up onto Beinn Chabhair (a new Munro for me). Back down and straight up An Caisteal, then briefly down the north ridge before dropping right down to the eastern valley. From there a tough ascent on dry but soft moss and grass all the way direct up Cruach Ardrain, and then south along the ridge over Beinn Tulaichean and then the descent to the track and car.
Very happy with my big day out in amazing weather. Ben More and Stob Binnien to complete the set of seven Munros would have been too far today (and I was out of water anyway). Chose a pretty unforgiving route round these five summits, didn’t feel very hill fit so hope this will improve now...

(Decent consistency, 2016 was 44:16 for 75th of 346, 2014 was 45:03 for 73rd of 310)
First time since 2016. And much more of a struggle than that year, almost two mins slower on the ascent, although I did descend better today...heavier this year! Headwind today, plus maybe 30s longer ascent route with the new one-way loop after the marsh crossing, but mostly just really toiling and not at all recovered from the weekend.
Knew it was going to be a struggle when I was losing ground to everyone on the run along the edge of the campus on the way out - Ben was just ahead here but pulled away steadily and increasingly easily on the ascent. Claire passed me on the final part of the climb which gave me an incentive for the descent. Gradually got going as the descent progressed and started to close the gap - then familiarity with the two steep/technical sections at the end of the wood got me a bit nearer. Then Claire gave the game away by looking over her shoulder a few times so I managed to close up and get past on the final gradual drag up along the edge of the campus.
Ascent 28:54; descent 16:07. Jase just behind at the top and still pretty close at the finish - I never saw him at all!
Results not yet out but approx times ahead were Ross 41:50, Rog 42:40, Ben 43ish, Grace 43:15.
Running warm up/down 15:58 2.05 km (7:47 / km)
