Round Arran Relay (South 2 leg)

Strides
9 mile race (hilly!) in 49:36, average pace 5:30/mile
1 mile cool down

Splits: 6.15, 6.02, 5.17, 5.11, 5.56, 5.34, 5.13, 4.53, 5.14

Notes: mild weather with a good breeze, which we ran into on the uphill start and with on the predominantly downhill and flat finish; the first 5 miles were torture, with every short downhill bringing a much longer uphill into view; I felt fantastic on the 2nd half of the race; suspected my quads would be thrashed after the twisty, fast sections, but surprisingly not very sore the morning after (though still might be too early to tell); Garscube team finishes 3rd overall behind Central and Irvine; I finished 1st on my leg of the relay.
