Ultra Tour of Edinburgh
Chris I’Anson, Julian Davis and Sheena Jackson took on the Ultra Tour of Edinburgh on Sunday.
Starting with ‘a Braveheart style charge down the Royal Mile’ the route then takes runners along bike paths and through parkland before heading up into the Pentland Hills above the city. The weather was unforgiving over the tops but the descent was good fun. The race then takes runners on a tour of the city streets canal ways and bike paths before finishing at the Royal Commonwealth Pool. Julian had to drop out at 26 miles with a knee injury (his first ever DNF) but Sheena went on to finish the 34.5 mile course in 7:01 with Chris following in 7:59.
