Devil o'the Highlands Footrace 2004
7th August 2004

(43 miles distance, with 6,680ft of ascent, from Tyndrum to Fort William along the West Highland Way.)

Murdo takes on fuel

Hilary runs out of fuel
(but she has already won!)

Paula rehydrates on tea

The Devil and his sidekicks

Whilst last year's race was hot, hot, hot, for this year it was just hot, hot - 'only' reaching 26 degrees C / 79 F. Although a bit intimidated by the early pace set by two of the South Africans, I felt able to dictate my own race for most of the way, and was delighted to finish within my 7 hour 'target'. Coming 3rd overall was a big surprise bonus! Great runs by Hilary Spenceley (who had to work hard to retain her Ladies' title from last year), and Paula Drouet in her first 'ultra'. She is clearly a natural for such undertakings, and particularly enjoyed the family sized pot of tea all to herself at the finish.
