Ship Inn Shell Bay Sandy Slither

FRIDAY 25 JUNE 2010
6.1 miles 70m ascent

I took part in this lovely wee race 6 mile in the Kingdom of Fife on Friday evening. One of those rare point to point races, starting at Lower Largo and finishing in picturesque Elie outside the cracking Ship Inn. Most of the race is ran on the beaches with a little on the Fife Coastal Path. It was a lovely evening, the views and terrain were fab and I plodded my way round in 47m 13s 34th of 94 runners and first Westie, more importantly!!. I was pleased enough to have persuaded my wee slow legs to get up to something approaching moderate speed, after last week's Glen Rosa disappointment. The organisation by Fife A.C. was great and the atmosphere wonderful as everyone enjoyed beers and fish and chips in the evening sun outside overlooking Elie beach. A bit of a trek to get there but well worth the trip at least once.
