Nicola Duncan’s Braid Hills and Blackford route was fast and most made easy work of their handicap time.
There were some sections designed to slow you down as noticed by runners:
“Oooft, that start! Lovely fast route though.” says Jim
“Great route, don’t like those steps up Blackford at the end” says Sean
“That final banana around Blackford just keeps going!” says Britton
If you take away the big hills, individuals on average do perform considerable better in faster handicap courses. This might go some way to explain how so many beat their handicap. Overall, this was a good result for runners… not so good for the Handicapper.
The next handicap is a true hill runners’ route so expect shift in results.
Handicap – Top 3 places:
Congratulations to Michael Wilkinson the Irn-Braid winner. After running the course 3 times and taking advantage of the extended deadline this was shift up the gears from his Carnethycap time.
