| Silver Medal winners |
Thanks to David Wardrope for this album showing all the Harriers in action here.
On a day when the Ladies outnumbered and outperformed the Men in the club we had some great performances from everyone that ran. Seven Ladies lined up for us giving 2 and 1 third teams with Joanne McEvoy, Kirsty Wilson and Lorraine Buchanan running leg 1. Joanne was first back in 16.05 but hot on her heels and running a course best was Kirsty in 16.20. We didn't have long to wait for Lorraine running a big course best of 18.37. Onto leg 2 and Alison Lessells and Sandy Hayden starting with only a 15 second gap. Alison however did extend the lead on Sandy handing over in a clear 2nd place with a time of 17.22 and getting stronger with every race she does. Sandy came home in 19.41 which I believe is a course best. Leg 3 and Julie running for the A team had a big gap to the leading Ladies but also a big gap to the 3rd team so no pressure. Julie ran her best as always and the fastest of our Ladies today 15.51 bringing the team home with Silver Medals. Julie Thomson ran the 3rd leg for the B team with another course best of 19.10.
Onto the Men with 1.5 teams so out on the 1st leg was Martin Howell and Gordon McInally. Martin being the 1st Harrier back in 15.16 and Gordon continueing to improve again with every race in 18.53. 2nd legs and Alan Cullie and Russell Couper. Alan is getting his fitness back with every race and didn't disappoint again today with 16.10. Russell having struggle with injury last weekend and through the week was hoping to be ready for this but having come down with manflu on Friday and lack of sleep was ready for a disaster but its funny with these short races that you might just have enough in the tank and it proved to be running 19.55 and the fastest time since 2011. Onto leg 3 and Andy Buchanan with the field spread out by now still managed to be fastest Harrier of the day in 15.02. Leg 4 and just Richard to run. Richards running has come on leaps and bounds in the last couple of years and continues to improve running a course best of 17.04 .
