Well, what a week! A bit of a marathon / ultra extravaganza!
Congratulations to Anne Campbell on a great Boston Marathon on Monday (21st) in pretty warm conditions for 3:43:21.
Great work by our mountain goats on Saturday (26th) at the ‘Devil of the Highlands’ 42 mile race, on the WHW from Tyndrum to Fort William, with 6,500ft of ascent.
