Tour of Fife, Day 4, Run Forrest Run, 5 mile trail run, Tentsmuir Forest.
Beautiful venue and the weather was near perfect for this 5 mile canter through the woods. Traffic delays caused a 15 minute delay at the start giving us a bit more time to warm up tired legs. But you couldn't help but be inspired by the great surroundings, cinder path trails and flat course.
I felt better than I suspected I would and ended up further up the field than the last couple of nights. Another "5 mile" pb and best of all was the messing about afterwards on a very broad and majestic beach with big waves and a good breeze. Did some bare foot warm down runs and had a splash about in the sea which seemd a bit cleaner than the toxic foot baths of the Forth.
What a great day out and another memorable episode in the Tour of Fife. Julia took some fab photos of us racing and by the sea afterwards. Hope we have the energy to be strong for tomorrow's last chapter. Its a bit of a showdown on a hilly trail run.
