Eddies 1/2 Marathon - 6th Nov '05




A good turnout of millies grateful to be taken up by JR in the bus, he must like driving to take us lot.

After reaching Fort William in good time the party undertook a 4 mile rally into outback territory. 1st out the bus were the walkers Mrs R & Mrs M, very brave considering the gale force winds and horizontal rain.

The rest sat tight until race headquarters in Fort Bill was reached. The conditions for the race were wet++ with a lot of wind on the exposed sections especially the last 3-4 miles. However even allowing for the conditions several runners achieved PB's, great effort and surely more to come given a similar course and better conditions.

Official results...
SJ 1.37.55, ES 1.40.26, DH 1.41.46 (West Dumby), JMcK 1.45.49, GC 1.54.02, JH 1.58.58, CC 2.02.30, JM 2.07.18, PD 2.08.18, JR 2.11.19, CD 2.15.41, AS 2.16.20

Return journey was celebrated by some and generally very entertaining for the rest.

No race pictures available, the only shot available is somewhat typical of the day!
