D33 Race

On Saturday we went to Aberdeenshire to see the D33 race organised by our good friends George and  Karen . It is now the second largest ultra in Scotland.
It was won by Ross Houston who ran the 33 miles in an incredible 3 hours 10 minutes and 40 seconds breaking the course record by 19 minutes .  Everybody seemed very happy and it was a very slick ,well organised event. We were able to catch up with lots of friends we hadn't seen since last year.

Being back in Abereenshire was also a treat , driving past our old stomping ground of Bennachie was a thrill.We ran over Bennachie on our wedding day between the church and the hotel where we held the reception . The scenery on the west coast is spectucular but we do miss the rolling landscape and hills of Aberdeenshire.
