I found myself up at Fort William Friday with work catching up with colleagues and enjoying the craic. It so happened that this race was on too. So feeling a bit better than I have of late, agreed to enter to blow away the cobwebs. A nice meandering fire road helped ease us into the race until popping out onto the hillside and the climb proper. I wasn’t sure if it was the beer or residual lurgy but I was leaking like a sieve in the perfect spring weather. I managed to hold my own, even catch up a bit to the turn around, where by I then lost time and ground on the steeper part of the descent until the gradient eased a bit. The track back seemingly gaining a few more bends than on the way up. Nice friendly race and hopefully a start to getting back into things.
