Hi All, Thanks for the support. The run went really well - completed the 30 miles in 5 hours 24 minutes, not too shabby considering there was over 1000m of steep ascent/decent and good enough for 5th out of 30 runners. Views were stunning, weather was perfect for the event - mostly overcast about 15 degrees Celsius, save for the last 8 miles in to the end where the sun came out.
My legs are pretty stiff today, especially awkward when walking down stairs but am in much better shape now than after the Edinburgh marathon, despite the course being longer, and far tougher and more technical. I can only guess that the mixed terrain helps even out the stresses and strains better than running on roads. If you have a choice between a trail Marathon or a road one, I'd suggest going for the trail one every time! As for the area, if you can come to Scotland be sure to visit the north west coast, the 3 hours drive there was stunning all the way and the final destination topped it all. Sure the weather can be stormy sometimes, but that's what you get when the Atlantic Sea's first landfall is a wall of mountains, for those with the required wet weather gear it just makes the scenery all the more dramatic ;-) Cheers, Robert. _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
