Fast Auldhouse Opener

An excellent turnout for our first Auldhouse 5k time trial of 2019. Despite the cold and breezy conditions and a headwind to finish, there were many excellent times, course bests and even PB's. Fastest of all was Gerry McParland with an excellent time of 18:21 on his first ever timed lap of the course. Andrew Buchanan was next fastest in 19:04, only one second out from his opening time last year and from that point on Andy got faster and faster. So we expect the same this year. Next was Kevin Farmer, making a welcome return to training in 19:27. Our fastest lady was Karen Allen in 21:20. This was Karen's fastest time since 2014 and demonstrates a steady return to top form. Alison Lessells was next in with a time of 22:22 which was also Alison's fastest time since 2014 (which must have been a good year!). Third fastest with a massive 5k PB was Julie Thomson in 23:28, a full 23 seconds faster than her previous best. It was also a course best for Lorraine Buchanan in 23:42 (almost a minute faster than her previous best) and another massive PB for Seonaid Morton in 24:03, a full 30 seconds faster than last year's PB. I shall update the Auldhouse results summary containing previous year's results over the weekend.
