In an attempt to see if I can catch Mike Anderson in the 'can't stop running' category I thought I would try enter as many races as I possibly could between now and Christmas. So today it was the Strathaven 10K. An easy downhill course I had been reliably informed by course record holder Ken - ideal I though after a rather hilly weekend last week. A total descent of 118m would suit me fine. 11.8m descent a kilometer means no really steep downhills and therefore no danger of Ken making any unsportsmanlike remarks.

In my hunt for obscure races where I might be able to set a club record I had found the Beachy Head Marathon. Good idea I thought, it's pretty far south so little chance of any other CAACers doing it or ever having done it. Well I suppose on that count - yes it was a good idea. However, perhaps I should have studied the terrain and course profile a little closer before entering...... This is a marathon which is on grass, trails and rather a lot of hills -  rather a lot of hills with 3,500ft of ascent across the 26+ miles.

Results are up, and CAAC once again feature prominantly!
