Highland Fling 2012

Friday 8.30pm – Milngavie After fajitas with a side of chips for dinner we head across the car park to the glamour of our Premier Inn standard double. Drop bag specifics are finalised with the addition of banana cake baked by Nicole.  I am number 130. The zero cancels out the bad luck that number 13 might bring so I have no concerns there. After a long discussion (and a pro and con list) I decide to shower the night before and set my alarm for five minutes later in the morning;  5.45am. Saturday 5.20am – Milngavie My cell phone vibrates with a text from Keith. Scott gets up to check the time. Probably should have set my alarm for  4.45am  because my race starts at 6am. Rookie error. I am pretty speedy getting ready although I almost forget to fill my bladder up with water. I do have time to moisturise my legs though and I now smell of juicy mango (I know that you will appreciate this Hillary). Saturday 5.45am – Milngavie Registration accomplished and drop bags dropped.
