Been slow to introduce our new family member Mara! She finally arrived after some medical persuasion at 40+10 & 4.1kg 😳 we are all doing really well, but sad @maxhollo has to go bk to work Monday 😢
Finished 3rd AG (4th overall) at the @durtyevents Craggy Island XL Triathlon on Saturday! My annual dose of #SwimBikeRun! Brilliant event and supported awesomely by local @ObanMRT
@scottcarlinpt Thanks! Ex-full time athlete, >10yrs of 10-15 hours a week but only running past 7-yrs. Running consistently has been the difficult part. Really enjoy your threads
Beautiful light over Dalmally this morning, but that might have been the last day for shorts on the summits this year - windchill definitely made it feel like autumn 🏃♂️ 🏃
Team responded to a casualty high on Ben Cruachan last night with multiple fractures following a fall. Team located casualty and packaged and stretched them below the cloud level and winched onboard Coastguard helicopter Rescue 199 just as light was failing.
A running pal returned north this weekend and motivated a traverse of Glencoe from west to east (running away from the thunder!) - Decided we probably aren’t as fit as we used to be 🥵
Very proud of @maxhollo who finished the Jura Fell Race in 4hr13 & just 6 days after winning the all rounders category in the three islands peaks race. (All while I mainly ate ice cream).
And a massive thank you to @staceholloway who gave me a lift home from Balloch after all the trains home to Oban were cancelled (and arrived with three lunch boxes packed with food!) 🙏
What an awesome weekend racing the @SIPeaksRace with an amazing bunch of people! Finished 11th overall and 🥇 All Rounders after 45 hours of sailing and running up hills ⛰ 🏃♂️ ⛵️
Huge congratulations to Hispaniola crew finishing 1st in all rounders @SIPeaksRace (won’t know if they won til rest of field finish). Also congratulations to Trade Winds who put in some fantastic running on Mull & Jura! Now cooking @maxhollo a lot of food to go pick him up!
