Given the choice for a long run with a good amount of climbing this would not be top of my list. However it is just what I need to do, so time to knuckle down and get on with it. At least if I do the route now I won't have to do the race again.
The forecast is quite good but we go prepared for a winters day. I find the climbs tough and we take it easier on the descents to hopefully prevent sore legs for the next few days. I feel for DW as he has to keep waiting for me and it is cold.
On the big climb up to Calf it gets increasingly windy. My feet and legs get cold but upper body and hands are warm, despite no gloves on. Cold feet make the rest of the run tough especially the descents, pounding the hard ground.
Happy I got around the route in a steady time and reasonable state. But need to get faster and stronger on the climbs.
Russell.
