Just discovered the photos from Linlithgow Marathon a few weeks back. My first proper race since before the first lockdown and since getting injured, this was pretty special, and I was feeling stronger than I thought I would. It was so much fun to race again, to just see all the other folks with their boats, share a meal and a cup of tea afterwards...
I loved it so much I didn't really care my car almost broke down on the way.
I'd put myself in Div6 and got a really good start (this has been rare for me so far), then managed to stay ahead the whole time and win the division. Straight after the race, I was feeling a little weird about it because I was worried it was only because I'd picked too low a division, so I was really happy to not get promoted into 5 - confirmation I'd been placed fairly : )
Now I can chase that promotion at the next race.

Thanks Kenny Fraser for trying to make sure I got home ok in the rickety car - sorry I lost you, must have still been in race mode.
