Johnny Hall's Travels and Travails

I've entered another race - a duathlon on the 27th of December. It's based around Tinto in Lanarkshire. Run 2 miles up and down the hill, cycle 20 miles around it and then finally run up to the summit and back down again - 4 and a half miles.

I've not been up Tinto before and it's a decent excuse to get out the house between Christmas and New Year, rather than playing video games and eating and drinking too much, as is usual in the Hall household.

It looks to be quite a bit harder than the Edinburgh New Year's Day Triathlon but at least I know how to run and cycle, whereas my swimming is still suspect.

I hope the weather isn't too horrible though.
