DavieO. Apr 2018 10:59pm, 29 Apr 2018 113 posts	0 DavieO. Interesting what Dvorak said about the length of the half as my Garmin said 13.32 today. I just assumed it a glitch.
Lip Gloss Apr 2018 11:01pm, 29 Apr 2018 29,107 posts	0 Lip Gloss My garmin said I did 26.50 miles so can I claim to be an ultra runner? Lol

HappyG(rrr) Apr 2018 9:05am, 30 Apr 2018 28,679 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) Congrats to Paul A on 1st MV50 (did I pick that up correctly?) Seems like on FB a lot of grumbles about the hills at Dunblane and Uni. Sorry to hear it's not very well supported. For all the advertising and razzamatazz (and money) I would have hoped it would have been better received? G
Lip Gloss Apr 2018 10:21am, 30 Apr 2018 29,118 posts	0 Lip Gloss The hills weren't that bad as you can't help but have hills where I run. The last one didn't look that bad on Saturday but I guess after 25.5 miles it was a bit of bugger.
ElDuderino Apr 2018 11:15am, 30 Apr 2018 16,335 posts	0 ElDuderino Did the Stirling Half. 7 miles went roughly as planned but my knee went and had to run/wlk the rest to finish. I thought the route was good and have no real complaints. I did feel for the marathon runners. Was tough for them to get past us on Gogar Loan (especially the people with headphones who couldnt hear the keep left shouts.) I supported at the Uni last year but that was always going to suffer from the route change meaning less access.
