This weekend saw the double header of the Erskine Urban race and SOL2, organised by FVO and held on Polmaise and Sauchie near Stirling.
Saturday at Erskine was great fun, lovely weather with some tricky navigation. I had a pretty decent run and finished 7th on Course 1. I really enjoy urban races! Felt pretty good despite a busy week at work and only had a few small wobbles. The GPS trace isn’t very accurate, ‘cough’.

Sunday, today, wasn’t such a good outing for me. Was wearing a shiny new pair of swoops and they were causing my feet to get rubbishy blisters. Started hurting on the way to 12 and just after punching stopped for a minute or so to see if it was a rock in my shoe but alas it was not 
Hobbled/walked/grumbled round the rest.

Not sure why I didn’t but was tempted to go straight from 17 to 23 (as Spongey did I think) but thought that was a bit of a wimp out so plodded the rest anyway, not especially enjoyable despite the nice(ish) forest and good planning. Meh, I think I need to tape my feet for every run for a while yet… Results on fvo.org.uk Bit sad to be beaten by Mark by 3 secs (!) but he ran on the run in and I couldn’t really be bothered!
