Barrathon

Why, why, why do I think I can do races with no training! I never learn. Rather surprised for the first 8 miles was doing ok and feeling fairly comfortable but then a familiar twinge and ripple was felt in my calves and then after a couple more meters it went into full spasm :-( Maria, a lovely local runner came back to help me and massaged my leg which helped, couldn't run anymore though so had to walk the rest of the way. Gave me a chance to enjoy the views fully though and take pictures. Aside from the pain, a very enjoyable day, followed by a yummy buffet, early yummy dinner and then ceilidh (where I managed a Gay Gordons).
