Hi thanks for the advice.I new that I wouldn`t replicate the biggest climbs but the profile maps will help alot.Must admit I`m really looking forward to this race .There are 5 of us coming up from our club(erme valley harriers) Hopefully we won`t disgrace ourselfs and all finish.
As a general question apart from the climbs is most of the course runnable .We tend to do most of our training on open moorland not on tracks with lots of long climbs rather thah very steep scrambles.Although there are a few out of some of the river valleys
I would appreciate anyones personel views on the race and any experiences which might help or open my eyes to what to expect. All the best Rich
