Great day out at the Tin Farm 5 race at Ormsary . It was well organised and the small village atmosphere was great. It seemed the whole population of Ormsary was out to marshall and cheer us on. The local kids were at the finishing line handing out medals and goody bags which was nice and the homemade soup,sandwiches and flapjacks were just what was needed to keep us warm after the race. Well done to the organisers Kirsty and Anne. Will be back next year.
As for the race itself....it was a challenging route with plenty of steep hills...not one , not two but three at least.
Saying that it was a scenic route which ran along the shore line (even the local seals were on the rocks cheering us on ) , through the muddy forest tracks of Ormsary estate towards a small flowing 'river' which i think was to clean the mud of the shoes before we entered the last mile .
All the girls did well and I was personally pleased with my time.
Ags....and I know you wont believe me but we had nae wine on the bus hame....but did stop of for a wee one on the way hame.
Great pics Caro ...well done for managing to post them.
Last but not least a big thank you to all our wee supporters who came to cheer us on ....Morgan, Cameron , Gregor, Rhuaraidh and Violet.
And you too DJD.
