Many thanks to David Esson for organising and the Nicholsons for staying on to help collect controls. Much appreciated!
Don’t forget to check for ticks after your run and for a few days afterwards. Remove any attached ones by simultaneously twisting and pulling gently. Turns out the wee critters may be able to hitch a ride from a surprising distance by using static electricity.
Next and final event in the Summer Series is Cove 17th July then after that there’ll be a bit of a break while we enjoy the Scottish 6 Days over in Moray before launching our Autumn Urban Sprint Series with an event at Danestone/Bridge of Don Wed 30th Aug.
*Spoiler alert* You don’t need to be able to run like the wind to enjoy Sprint O. It means a relatively short course, Orange/Medium standard, with many twists and turns and attention to map detail so concentration and accuracy is as much the name of the game. If you’ve not tried it before because you think you’re not “fast enough” then we challenge you to give it a whirl this autumn – you may find yourself pleasantly surprised at how much fun it is.
