Club Hill Race

Tonight saw the running of the Dundee Road Runners annual hill race. As we are primarily a road running club the hill race is not too demanding, basically a lap of Auchterhouse Hill, a few miles to the north of Dundee,

The route

It was a beautiful night with some cracking views from the top and turn out was pretty good - maybe about a dozen of us - we're not a big club ! I'm pretty unfit just now so the initial climb hurt quite a lot but I got to the summit in 3rd place and that's where I stayed till the end. It felt a lot more that the 2.2 miles with 530ft ascent, I think wy finishing time was around about 18mins 10s and I got a Bounty bar at the end which made it all worthwhile :-)
