Results | Garmin Data - Run 1 | Garmin Data - Bike | Garmin Data - Run 2 | PhotosMy good friend Alex and I joined over 120 competitors from all parts of Scotland to completely ignore the wet and misty weather at Cairngorm Mountain on Saturday and take part in the fifth annual Cairngorm Charmer duathlon event.
The event sees teams of two complete a 12 mile lap by running and biking around the Cairngorm and Glenmore forests with a challenging (but charming) last mile hill climb back up the Allt Mor trail to the finish line at Cairngorm.
We both put in fairly respectable times and ended up finishing in 4th position overall, 2 minutes away from a podium place. Overall fastest time went to Inverness pair Ross Nixon and Donnie MacDonald who set a new record time of 2.19.13 retaining their title from 2010.
There was a great social and competitive atmosphere at the event (despite the weather conditions…) and we'll definitely be back to try and get on the podium!
The event is organised as a fundraising event for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland and through generous donations we raised £400.
