The Ben Race

[slowcoach]

FOUND ON BEN - NIKE HRM WATCH

If anyone lost a watch on the race let me know 'cos I've got it. The strap's broken and I nearly stepped on it on the screes. I tried to hand it in to an organiser but they suggested I wander round asking if anyone had lost it - I thought the forum was probably the best way.

Enjoyed the race and got in just under my target time of 2.1/2 hrs. Not sure I'll be back next year but I do fancy trying another race North of the border, maybe Stuc a`Chroin.

I believe this was lost by a club colleague. I'll send you a PM with his details and perhaps you could get in touch. He lives just down the M6 in Lancashire.

that was a tough one this year.
Fell on the path on the way up, slipped on a rock, again on the way up, battering my shin. Cold and sluggish at the top (must have been bordering on hypothermia as I turned down jelly babies from the summit marshall, mad). Turned about 4 minutes off pb time
Descended like I'd just had hip replacement surgery (without the aid of Landis's pharmacist) losing ground to just about everyone and about 6 mins off my best time.
Despite gaining places on the way back along the road (and so I should have: I'd done eff all running for previous half hour), I still finished 10 mins off my pb.
Ho Hum - you've got to take the rough with the smooth and they don't get much rougher that the Ben on a greasy day.

Still, entries for next year open soon, and I was only 10 spots off the Livvy prize.....

(and if you were there have a close look at the race program - there might be more than bbc scotland filming it next year )

I've left a message. Thanks Flat Foot

Yes, you were well ahead of me even before we'd set off.

No photos of me. The photographer had probably got bored and gone for a pint before I got down.
