We had fantastic weather for this years bog trot. With glorious sunshine and warmer than expected temperatures. The route was altered as there had been some rock fall on the Radical Road so they were unable to use this section as it is currently closed to the public. This led to much discussion before the race as to where exactly the route went.
And much discussion afterwards as to whether it was prefered to the traditional one.
It was great to have Bill there at the start and he reminded us we should be warming up before hand. Being a shorter race it is quite intense and demanding. At the prize giving I was shocked to be awarded the FV40 prize and Des won MV50, beer galore! Juliane came away with a spot prize of some brown socks in true HBT fashion.
Results:
Des 35:50
Juliane 46:05
Sadie 49:53
Chris 51:38
It was great to be at Holyrood and see you all running well and picking up prizes. Well done all.
“Bog Trot Brown” socks, what more could a girl ask for! Well done you guys, hopefully the trotters will remember this years route for next year – as always, they “think on the Trot”.
