Scout Adkin was in action in glorious
conditions in The Lake District on Saturday batting it out for Scotland against
teams from England, Wales and Northern Ireland in the 2013 Senior Home International.
The uphill race over 8.7km from Keswick took in 940m of climb to the summit of
Skiddaw and doubled as the UK trial for the European Mountain Running
Championships in Bulgaria in July with the cream of Britain’s mountain runners
in action. In what was her longest ever race ascent, the 19 year-old finished
10th of 21 in the International race in 58mins 46secs behind
winner Emma Clayton (England) and she was 2nd in the U23 category to
former junior rival Laura Riches (England) with whom she had yo-yoed until
losing out in the final push to the summit. Here she is leading Laura around half-way.
