Edinburgh Marathon

Arrived in Falkirk Travelodge switched on telly yo have the nice weather lady promise 18 degrees and and a cool sea breeze.

She lied it was hotter than that when we woke up at 0600.

We had a plan to run the first half in 1.45 - 1.50 giving us a bit of leeway for second half, all looked like it was going to plan when we went through 13 miles in around 1. 50.

At 15 miles the temperature rose and the average speed fell, at 19 miles we really started to struggle but hung on to finish in 4. 21 but at least we ran the whole way, and in temperatures that reached in excess of 20 degrees we were happy with our lot.

Helen smashed her last years time by 40 minuets so well done to her.

Roll on Brora 10k 20 miles less :)

Sunday Becons

I am now officially in panic about the impending marathon...
predicted temperatures of 19 degrees... not good
but hopefully the crowds and Rob nagging away like an old wifie will get us round in the much sought after 4hours, although on such i warm day i think i'll be happy to get round at all.
Wish us luck please....

Flying Scotsman

Check out the gearing on his bike I couldn't turn that gear going down dunne hill.

New Authors wanted

Kevin had the very good idea of having multiple authors of the site, so anyone who would like to contribute drop me a line and I will add you as an author.

New blogger!!!

The Cub has access to the blog... so we finally may get some decent photos of pink bikes, semi-clad men and fashionable lycra!

Oh that is once i learn how to use my new found hobby!

How long will this access last...... :) 

Turiff Sprint

Well done to Helen who completed the Turiff Spint today in 1hr 27 mins she told me the cycle was quite hilly and there was a 400m run from swim to transition.

Well done also to Peter Fenwick our May Mini winner who got third with a time of 1hr 9 mins, Peter is doing an Ironman in June in France I'm sure we all wish him the best o' luck.
