Killin 10k, 27 August

Four of us headed over to Killin for a new 10k race, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. I'm always a bit nervous about new races, because you never really know what the organisation is going to be like, but in this case, apart from a slightly dodgy start into oncoming traffic at the Falls of Dochart, this went really well.

The race route goes through Killin and heads up one side of Glen Lochay to the hydro station before coming back down the glen and back to the finish in the park. It's not quite a pb course, with one slightly unpleasant hill at about the 5.5k mark, but apart from that it's a very nice course.

I was very happy to finish 4th overall. Sadly there were no prizes for first vet, as I would have won that. Elaine was next Harrier home, followed by Kirsty, who managed to pip Rob by 9 seconds!

It's a nice race, and I'll certainly be keen to do it again next year.
