Given that the course reccie for this race had involved snow at the summit a few weeks before, conditions turned out to be nearly perfect, with good visibility, good temperatures, and no rain to open my Bog and Burns campaign. The race started from the field just on the far side of the timber bridge over the A82, and is fairly steep the whole way up, slightly more gradual for the first kilometre or so, and then getting onto some slightly rougher terrain near the top. The ground was pretty dry, and the total amount of bog was relatively minimal the whole way. I was pretty pleased with the run, given it’s the largest ascent I’ve done in a race since Tinto in 2021.
