Grand Prix Updated after Troon

Nineteen Harriers enjoyed perfect conditions for the Troon 10k on the evening of 7th May with warm weather and a gentle breeze. The race was part of the Calderglen Women's Grand Prix in which Frances Maxwell extended her lead as first home in a time of 46:05. Genevieve Freeman made things difficult for herself by setting a pb in a 10-mile bike time trial the night before but still managed the 10k in a respectable 47:12. Mary Goldsmith picked up a joker, finishing in 48:40. Alison Crooks was next in her first Grand Prix race in a time of 50:26. The grand prix status can be viewed using the menu on the left.

Although the race was not part of the men's Grand Prix this year, there was still a great turn out of 9 Harriers. Ricky Leach was first back in a time of 35:34, followed by Jamie McMonagle (36:47), Colin Freeman (37:27), Ian Hughes (37:28) and Stephen Reilly (38:10). Missing from the original on-line results but now found in the latest published results, Jim Holmes ran a solid 41:43. For some reason this has never been a course that yields fast times which makes David Herbertson's pb of 42:12 all the more impressive. Graham Lindsay was next (43:48), then David Searil (49:33).

The Calderglen Tuesday Night section were out in force too: Stephen McLean (54:22), Richard Lawton (54:43), Emma Morrison (58:47), Donna Gillies (59:52), Alice Mullen (01:01:41) and Irene Hill (01:08:10). Well done to all.
