Although it has that word "Hill" in it, it's actually not that much of a hill. Its a tough 5.3 mile multi terrain race, out and back with about 2 mile track/bridal paths, 2 mile on the road (with about 3 Auldhouse dips) and the Hill in the middle - no specified path up it as it's green grazing land and usually occupied by the local flock! It was a beautiful, hot summers night and no wind, ideal. Tonight there were 3 Harries taking part - Joanne trying to beat 42.27 last year - not feeling great and not having ran for a week, but still took a minute off it with 41.35, Ian Hughes new to these parts and had been psyched up for days wanting a tough challenge and something different - he found it and came in with 41.05, and me - no one will be bothered, but 50.38, 2 secs quicker!!
I could go on and on about it being a great race...... but just ask the other 2 next time you see them as they'll still be objective about races in Fife.
As I mentioned, the Sandy Slither is on 27th...it's point to point, over 3 beaches, cliff tops and finishes at a pub! Both Ian and me are taking cars, so plenty of spare seats should anyone wish to join us. We'd need to leave at 5pm for 7.3pm start.

Well done all 3, particularly George for expressing his enthusiasm for the hills of Fife in his regular race reports, enticing a few Harriers to the far East with him.
