Fort William parkrun

'Race': Fort William parkrun
Time/Position: 20.15 (5th from 66)
With my imminent age category change, I was conscious that I can't be constantly plodding slowly up hills, so I mixed things up with a parkrun this morning. And a splendid parkrun too, around the Nevis range north of Fort William, which I recognised from the mountain bike world championships I think. Not the quickest course, as you might expect, and I was obviously rather tired after the last few days. But it went fairly well, a gentle drag on forest tracks before a rapid downhill to the turn, and then an undulating finale along firepaths, forest tracks and dirt paths, quite reminiscent of Llandegla. A final little hill and a slow time, but acceptable in the circumstances. I then drove all the way to Strathan at the end of Loch Arkaig, a complete contrast.
