6-Stage Results

A total of 16 Harriers contested the National 6 stage (men) and 4 stage (women) Road Relays at Livingston on Saturday turning in many excellent performances and course bests. Despite the forecast of snow, the main problem seemed to be over-heating as the sun shone for the entire event.

The Calderglen men's A team contained a wide spread of ages including one junior, one senior, one M40 and 3 M45's, which makes the team result of 11th overall even more impressive. The youngest member of the team, Stephen Reilly, continued his excellent progression and handled the short first leg pressure well with a time of 18:15 in 20th position. The most experienced Harrier, Davy Watt took over on the long leg and brought the team up to 16th position in 32:57. Scot Hill continued the good work with 18:58 (19th) then Stuart Gibson in 32:44 brought the team up to 11th. Eddie Reid was next up in 19:29 (13th) with Martin Duthie (pictured below) bringing the team back up to 11th at the finish in a time of 33:22.

The ladies team comprised Sandra Reid making her road relay debut for the club in 25:22 and Frances Maxwell who was disappointed not to break 44 minutes on the long leg (44:02).

The men's second team was a veteran team comprising George Stewart (20:02), Jim Holmes (38:36), David Herbertson (20:39), Stuart Waugh (39:30), Kenny Beattie (21:42) and Alan Cullie (35:45) bringing the team home in 33rd overall and 5th Veteran team.

Finally, the partially complete 3rd team kicked off with Russell Couper showing signs of a return to form (24:46) and Colin MacDonald (49:07).

Well done to all.
