1st Harrier home was Colin F - 36.48 & 10th position overall. It felt like a PB but it alas it wasn't. Next in was Ian Hughes in 14th position in a time of 37.50. Just under a minute behind Ian was Stephen Reilly in 38.45 then Scot Hill who very narrowly missed the 40 minute mark in 40.01. Club wannabe (still) Joanne ran very close to her PB and managed to come in as 2nd Female in 40.52, picking up a very generous cash prize in the process. Genevieve was out testing a dodgy ankle injury and ran & steady 46.30. Finally in a rare special guest appearance at any running event Dawn graced us with her prescence & ended up breaking the 50 minute barrier for the first time in a decade. 49.38 was her final time. Amazing what someone will do for a black pudding supper.
Some of us headed into the town centre for a well deserved fish (& black pudding) feast to top off a great evening. Thanks to coach for the support, even if you did mysteriously disappear at the end. We suspect he went off to drive the course to verify the distance for Dawns unexpected PB.

Excuse the random photo display - hopefully someone will fix this in due course!

Stephen is still waiting to hear back from the Ayr club, but he should have won the first M20.
Stephen has now been confirmed as 1st Junior and his prize is in the post! Well done Stephen.

All in all a good race, a scenic and varied course, a great t-shirt, a medal, a mars bar, bottle of water and banana, changing and shower facilities (dated and limited) and all for £5 for SAL members! With first place prizes of £100 and numerous other prizes all being presented by the local Provost, Toni McIntosh providing free massages and the option of buying food from the local hot dog van, it seems to me that many other races could learn a thing a thing or two from Ayr Seaforth. The Land o’ Burns 10k Road race is definitely one to be added to the diary for next year.
