Staying nearby so I jogged over for the 9.30 start. Some ice on the course and fresh wind. Air temp 1 degree.
A hilly course with quite a few turns and rough surface in places.
The other runners looked quick but after 200m it was me and one other guy in front . I decided to sit on his shoulder as his pace was comfortable. On the second lap of three I could hear his breathing was becoming laboured and up the long hill he started slowing. I encouraged him to hang on because he was fast on the downhill but he dropped back.
I then ran comfortably to the end finishing in 19.23. Ran a cool down lap with the. Second place guy his name was Rowan and he was a Zoology student at Glasgow Uni. Nice fellow.
Then jogged back to apartment and packed u to go to London on the train.
Felt great today.
