CAAC 5Miler

The start of this annual Corstorphine AC race is the nearest to the house, so felt obliged to enter. It also follows on roads of my childhood and some which I train on today. At least I would know the course.

I cycled to the start on this sunny Wednesday evening and parked my bike in the industrial estate off the Turnhouse Road. I could see that it was going to be a club runners race, with the vast majority in vests. I also spotted a couple of LAMMers, who sensibly (unlike me) weren't running, just helping.

The course starts off with a flat and then gentle downhill before the hills back to Cammo and along Cammo Walk. I was struggling on that last steep climb, but managed to hold my place and came in 109th / 224
