In most certainly the worst conditions so far this year we still managed a fine turnout for the monthly Auldhouse 5km time trial. Not only that, it was a huge surprise to see Davie Herbertson on a short work visit from Australia (and no doubt it was also a surprise to Davie to be thrown into a 5k time trial, only his second run in the rain this year!). Davie also made sure that Ian Mackenzie was on the start line which was good to see.
With several of the Harriers tapering down for the Dunoon Half Marathon on the Saturday, this was a night for controlled pace running. Andy Buchanan was following that strategy but still managed to set the fastest time of the night...... just! Andy finished in 18:45.9. The 0.9 seconds was important as Mark Saez finished second fastest in 18:46.4! The fastest lady was Seonaid Morton who set her course best time of 24:33. Well done Seonaid. As mentioned above, furthest travelled was David Herbertson, all the way from Sydney, who finished in a time of 22:52. Our only first timer on the night was Paul Dillon on only his second night at the club who finished in 30:01. That was in fact Paul's second 5k of the day!
We are now all set for the final time trial of the season on the first Thursday of September.
Full results are here. A big thanks to Davie Searil who was the official photographer on the evening and provided all the atmospheric pictures in this album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/135841033@N05/albums/72157693952449320
