‘What would Bear Grylls do?’
THIS was my thought as I dived into the freezing cold water of Knockburn Lake, chest compressed, struggling to fill my lungs with air and ready to pull myself to the other side with an underwater rope.
Yup, it was pretty ‘Beastly’.
The Beast of Banchory is a 10km uphill, downhill, muddy, heather hopping run with 25 obstacles to help raise money for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland which took place a couple of w/e’s ago.
Even as a ‘seasoned’ Tough Mudder, The Beast of Banchory is no walk in the park and definitely lives up to its name.
THE GOAL?
To get a DECENT time (you’re provided with timing chips for your ankle) and have FUN along the way.
Now I didn’t actually decide about the ‘time goal’ until about 5 mins before the race began BUT…
It definitely made me PUSH myself even when my lungs, legs, abs and arms were all burning.
THE RESULT?
Even after faffing with my clothing (had to do a mid run strip, as you do) and stopping for some cheeky pics (see above) I ‘tamed the Beast’ in 1 hr 16 mins.
Decent time, fun had BOOOM – Goal Achieved!!
