Highland Fling 2009

Sandra, Eddie, Andy B and Ian Rae competed in the 'Highland Fling' race on Saturday, Ian on a solo effort over the 53 mile half West Highland Way course and the others in relay teams. Here is Eddie's report.

It was an excellent experience and we would thoroughly recommend it - maybe next year we could get a few teams together from the club.

Sandra was participating in a ladies team (along with 3 fellow runners from East Kilbride). She ran the 3rd leg from Rowardennan to Beinglas Farm and completed the leg in 2 hrs 37 mins. Eddie was running in a mixed team and completed the lochside leg in 1 hr 59 mins. Sandra's team was 2nd ladies team in the relay (Bellahouston were 1st). Andy Buchanan completed the 2nd leg of the relay from Drymen toRowardennan, contributing to his team's successful 2nd place in the men's relay. Highlight of the day was Ian Rae's performance - completing the full 53miles from Milngavie to Tyndrum. (Delighted with a PB since the event last year - his accurate time will follow)
