22 Harriers ran and a few more were only there for the beer in our final 5k time trial of the season. This was our biggest turn out of the year, beating the season opener by 1 and clearly beer is the carrot the Harriers need as this one started and finished outside the Auldhouse Arms. Many preferred this start position, the hills coming at a more comfortable position in the lap and the biggest hill coming at the end so no need to hold back. Conditions were near perfect apart from the darkness that fell before many of the runners had even started!
All the times are in the results spreadsheet accessible via the link in the menu but it is worth highlighting the course bests and seasons bests. With course bests we had Geo Ferguson (21:50), Hugh Simpson (23:07) and Karen Sturgeon (22:33) with Neil Green (19:48), Jim Holmes (20:00), Julie Beveridge (20:49) and Ian Rae (21:39) only missing out on course bests by seconds. Season's bests went to Billy Buchanan (21:31), Mary Goldsmith (22:52), Andy Henderson (20:35), Frances Maxwell (22:06), Gerry Mullen (20:50) and George Stewart (21:07).
After a relaxed drink in the Auldhouse Arms, most of us ran back to the sports club via a variety of dark routes. All in all a good night so thanks to Scot for suggesting the idea during the Christmas Pub Run.
