Four Harriers joined a field of 150 today for the Glasgow University 5 mile Road Race. After a period of silence to respect the victims of the helicopter crash, the race was off, uphill along the main drive of the vet school before plunging downhill to the canal-side road. A busy car wash on that corner did mean running through a fine mist of cold water which may have been nice in the Summer but not today! A short, sharp ascent up onto Dawsholm Park Road before the welcome long descent to the lane leading up to Maryhill Road. Another downhill section back into the Science Park and then off again on lap 2 (where I struggled).
Finishing order for the Harriers was Alan Derrick 29:34, Alison Lessells 35:11, Colin Banks 36:55 and Chas Steven 42:52. Well done to all for a fine effort on a tough course.
Alan
