Balmedie Beach Bash

What a run? This is/ was an unusual run that suits a hill runner's sense of the unpredictable! Basically, it is an evening race over about 3.5 miles. It starts flat and although there are no hills there are plenty of steep ups and downs. In fact, there is enough suffereing to leave you crawling at the end, begging for some solid ground that doesn't give as soon as you stand on it!

My position in the race was fair enough - too fast a start mean you slow down sooner or later. What I found particularly odd is that now, a couple of hours later, I feel like I could run another few miles. I can just tell that I've not run far enough...

Still, I'm not about to get my head torch out now!
