The weather and course were kind and I reckon that PH had at least 6 runners present. A well organised event (thank you to Mike + the Moorfoot Runners) in which I finally ducked under 50 mins ! I will definately be there again next year. Also, the wee fellow enjoyed the 3 k - always good to get the youngsters involved !!

Good to see one or three (or was it two) Harriers ran at Traprain.   I gathered that the course had altered since I ran it in 1992 or thereabouts and that the runners now have the aid of ropes to ascend the wee hill in the middle.   Anyway, well done Steve (3rd and 1st Vet), Rob, Tim (running for Carnethy - or is there more than one Tim Doyle?) and Martin.   I was rather impressed to hear this morning that Nicky, Martin's wife, had walked 26 miles in her underwear over the weekend, SUPERB!

The Harriers were well represented at the Rigg Race - a huge well done to John Anderson, 12th (36.16), Gillian Cairns (43.11), Kevin Anderson (43.46), Christine Anderson (44.11) and Fran Jones (47.49).

Please note the Andersons are not related, well not that I know of anyway!  

This was also part of the Road Grand Prix...

Great run by Mike Brooks at the Edinburgh Marathon on 25 May.   His time of 3h00m23s was a personal best by about 6 minutes.   How frustrating to miss beating 3 hours by 24 seconds.

Chris Burns in his 8th Edinburgh Marathon was round in 4h15m45s - well done Chris.   Chris is a member of the Mile AYE Club (AYE means All Years Edinburgh).

Well done also to Ngeme Ntuli round in 5h17m24s and Carol Tweedie round in 5h40m34s.

Well my legs are still aching despite the fact that the race was yesterday - although it's a satisfying soreness as I'm very happy with my 1h 43min 01sec (the 1 sec is a tad annoying however)  

Well done also to Duncan, who finished 27th in a very commendable 1h 24min 23sec!

A very well organised race, complete with chip timing and lots of friendly support from groups of people along the route.  Starting and finishing in Kinross, the race took in some of the villages and farms around Loch Leven, with a good mixture of flat and hilly sections.

Being the 25th anniversary, the post race goody bag contained a nice towel as well as the usual water etc.  Bit different to our race however - the spot prizes included bags of tatties and carrots from the local farms!  

I'll be heading back next year if anyone wants to join me!

Congratulations to Stuart Sanderson, 1st vet and 6th overall, in the Selkirk Sprint Triathlon on Sunday 11th May.   This was part of Stuart's build up for the defence of his British Vets title on 25th May.   All the best for the 25th Stuart.
