Distance: 8.8km | Ascent: 400m | Duration: 15 days | Race: 73 | Total runners: 81
We had fantastic turnout and weather for Woodhouselee, the first of the 6 handicap courses in the 2023 series. This was a brand-new course loosely based on the 2022 course in the opposite direction, both created by Ken.
There were a few sections of the course that had more favourable lines for those that knew. Inbound from top of Capelaw and under fences off Castlelaw saved a bit. Sandra’s route over Allermuir was not one of them.
Handicap predicted times were overall on the tough side, only 8 runners beat their predicted time.
Ken: “Way over my handicap but gave it my best on a stunning evening.”
Steve: “Nice route with hair-raising final section off Castlelaw”
Lucas: “Great route in a lovely sunny and dry Pentland night which make the run pretty quick”
Thanks for the finish line support from Declan, Andrew & Hilary Spenceley, Alison and Rich U on photo duty. Ken arranged our well-deserved post-race food for us all at the Steading, thank you.
