Down by the River Race - Cambuslang

Stuart Gibson and David Searil represented the Harriers at the Down by the River 10k organised by Cambuslang Harriers today. No sign of Christmas excesses in Stuart's performance, finishing 5th overall in a new 10k pb of 33:26. Stuart is now closing in on the likes of Steven Wylie (3rd in 32:00), who he had in his sights for much of the race. David is reported to have run a steady shift in just under 50 minutes although, unlike Stuart, he did not require the sustenance of the complimentary scotch pie and tea provided back at the prize giving. Thanks to Stuart for supplying the race report.

The only downside about the race was the sparce field. A guy from Tipton came up and won at a canter in 31:20. Even though it is only 3 years old, it would be nice to see more Harriers and runners from the other EK and Glasgow clubs supporting the event.

Thanks Stuart for that generous report, unfortunately my time was actually 51 minutes dead - coincidentally much the same way I felt on crossing the finishing line! Davie
