The West Highland Way Race 2012
At 1 am on Saturday 23rd June, all things going to plan, I will toe the line to take part in the 95 mile West Highland Way Race. The aim – a sub 35 hour time that will enable me to join ‘the family’ of those who have completed the race previously, and to earn the sought after crystal goblet. The race includes 14,760ft of ascent and potentially 2 night runs, depending on how long I take. The race is 40 miles longer than my longest run to date, the 55 mile Cateran Trail, and will become my ‘A’ race for 2012. I hope to complete 6 other ultras in 2012 besides the West Highland Way Race, 3 before and 3 after 23rd June. I, along with many of my Scottish Ultra Marathon Series friends, found out that I had made the official starting list of 200 last night. Training starts now!
