ElDuderino Aug 2022 10:06am, 8 Aug 2022 32,063 posts	0 ElDuderino I was at the Devils (crewing - or at least giving my brother in law a lift ). He didn't have the best prep for it but did well and was happy how he got on. I had a nice peaceful day and got a couple small runs in. Couldn't help notice what a great job the organisers and volunteers did throughout the route - A well oiled machine indeed.

_andy Aug 2022 4:34pm, 11 Aug 2022 11,739 posts	0 _andy Thanks :-)G - I had a long day at the Devil o' the Highlands. Just 2:34 shy of my PB (that's hours and minutes) which I'm delighted with. After all, even turning up for it after a grand total of 168 miles run in all of 2022 was a bit daft, so I had a nice stroll for much of the day, really enjoyed the bit after the Devil's staircase (about 22+ miles in) and then struggled with the miles 30+ towards the end (no surprises there). Best of all, my injured foot is still working (after a bit of ankle swelling initially) and hopefully the running can pick up. Maybe time to get a few other races in the calendar.
STOOSH Aug 2022 5:57pm, 11 Aug 2022 3,390 posts	0 STOOSH Well done all at the Devil - a race i'd like to get back to in the future. Didn't realise you were had been injured, hope you get to steady milage again soon. I've been a bit up and down running wise all year, so much so i feel like i've been trying to make a comeback every other week.
iaincr Aug 2022 1:52pm, 17 Aug 2022 973 posts	0 iaincr great wee race on sunday if anyone looking for a run this weekend. entrycentral.com really friendly race, good tea and snack at end, club organised but numbers not great so far. I am sure they would appreciate any signups. the only potential downside is the train level crossing coming down mid race which happened to me last time and had a 3 minute wait :)!
ElDuderino Aug 2022 11:02am, 18 Aug 2022 32,203 posts	0 ElDuderino Yep agree, Cambus Quarter is a great wee race at a different distance. Really enjoyed it last year.(was fortunate to have no issues at the level crossing) Would have done it this year but got other plans.

Dvorak Aug 2022 1:26pm, 18 Aug 2022 25,797 posts	0 Dvorak Only 50 advance entries - wonder if they'll take entries on the day. Might have a run if so (and if they'll still be at the finish after 80 minutes ). Also the Springburn Canal Canter next Wednesday evening: choice of 6K or 9K.

They have one of the biggest offshore wind farms in the World there for a reason😀
