Great Scottish Runs

The club seemed to be well represented in the various races at the weekend and although I don't have all club results by any manner of means - and I'd really like to have some more of the younger runners' times/places - what I have heard is that it was a good day for all. Best performance was that of young Roisin McShea who was second Under 12 to finish in the 3000 metres race with her time of 12:29 with Claire Reid being timed at 13 minutes exactly. Gary Dick ran 37:35 for the 10K to be thirty fifth with Yvonne Green in 48:35 and Graeme Reid finishing in 40:41.

The only results that I have for the half marathon are for Paul Carroll who ran well for a pb 78:24 with Kath Scott in 91:08, Marina McCallum in 92:25 and Stephen Baillie in 94:11. Paul took two minutes from his pb and ran the second half faster than the first half of the race. Well done and good on you Paul. As I have said these are only a sampling of results but indicate a whole range of performances across all events with the club being represented by men, women, boys and girls. There were also a lot of supporters on the route - not every one knew all the runners and not all the runners recognised the folk shouting them on, but it was good to have them there. Any more results for the younger athletes in particular would be welcome.

Well done to Paul, a great PB. I knew you could do it wee man, top run.

Andrew Hunter ran the junior 3k in 15:50 which is 5 mins better than last year which highlights the good training and effort Donald and Phil have put in over the last year.
