Fourteen Harriers enjoyed probably the best conditions of the year so far for the July edition of the Auldhouse 5k Time Trial. This was already a tough week with the Vertical Mile on Monday. However, that did not prevent Andrew J Buchanan from not only setting his course best but also a 5k personal best, starting last and finishing first in a time of 17:48, a whopping 40 seconds faster than he has run on this particular course.
Fastest lady was Julie Beveridge just missing her course best by 3 seconds to finish in 19:50. Andy Henderson set a season's best of 22:20, having recovered well from the Vertical Mile. Stuart Waugh would have had a season's best but for the fact that he met two tractors passing each other blocking his path and requiring him to stop for a good 10 seconds. Stuart recorded a time of 22:23, just 1 second outside his season's best. Sharon Gregg and Holly Rankine were both doing the time trial for the first time and set excellent benchmark times of 22:59 and 26:05 respectively.
Full results of the July TT are here and all the previous results can be accessed from the Auldhouse Summary menu on the left.
Only two Auldhouse TT's left this year. Let's see what another month of training can do.
