Next on the schedule was the Edinburgh Kilomathon...13.1km (odd distance) starting at Ocean Terminal and finishing at Murrayfield Stadium.
On Sunday 20th March it dawned bright and dry. I jogged to the bus and arrived at Ocean Terminal by 8am where I stood in the doorway of the shopping centre enjoying the warm sun though the windows. There was actually a keen easterly wind which made standing about outside for a long time slightly uncomfortable.
With a few minutes to go, I headed to the start pen for my estimated time. There was banging music playing and a great atmosphere. Off we went round the back of the shops and past Brittania, soon to join the North Edinburgh Cycle Path for a couple of km to Victoria Park. Some contrived looping round the park until rejoining the cycle path and continuing to Murrayfield. Then through Roseburn Park and into the Stadium complex for some more odd route weaving to extend the distance. (Not a great event). Finally a wee sprint beside the pitch along the west stand.
56m34s.
