A small turnout of diehard runners turned out last Sunday for the
Dechmont Law 10k trail race. The weather
continued to shine as it has done during the past week but just slightly on the
cooler side due to the race being late morning.
There were some good performances with 1st Harrier home Stephen Phimister in a
time of 42.07 and not far behind was Eddie Reid in 43.35. The
next two runners were David Herbertson in 44.06 followed closely by Jim Holmes
in 44.51. Our only female runner of the
day was Joanne McAvoy who completed the race in 46.24 claiming 1st
female Harrier! The day’s closet head to
head was George Stewart and Richard Lawton with George coming out top 51.11 and
Richard 51.13. George had stopped early
on in the race and Richard passed him and maintained a healthy lead until the
last 500m. George had crept up on Richard and smoothly went by with Richard reacting
slowly but unable to catch in the downhill finish.
Apparently George was motivated by the thought of potential
headlines on the blog of being beaten again! Scottish National Trail Race…say
no more.
The last runner of the day was Russell Couper in a time of
62.38. Even though last Russell might be
the true winner as he hopes he has won the 2013 Grand Prix. However we shall wait until results have been
counted and verified by Alan.
