In the words of Gary Forrest G is a monster!!

Saturday the 14th of February was the famous Carnethy 5 hill race! This one is not for the faint hearted taking in 5 peaks in the Pentlands! Of course that isn’t quite tough enough for the hill runners so this year they decided to throw some snow into the equation too! I wasn’t that upset about watching this one from the side lines especially after the long road bike I had put in on the morning. So Chris and I donned our cheer leading outfits . . . . . . . ok maybe they were more wellies and as many layers as possible and went to watch the G man race! (Its was cold!).

The conclusion from the race is that G is in fact a monster! Finishing an awesome 11th in the record breaking field of 499 finishers that dude was well chuffed! Yee ha looks like all the hard training is paying off!!

I guess we will need to watch this space to see if I am still on the side lines next year!
