My sixth attempt at the annual 5 mile road race, now a 2 lap effort around and about the Garscube Sports Complex, only problem came within the first few hundred yards where a narrow gate slowed the runners. Reached the mile marker in 7:11 so averaged the rest in about 7 1/2 mins to finish just over 37 mins. As usual a good field of over 200 runners the first home in less than25 mins.
Excelllent local wee race for a Saturday afternoon with good changing facilities and a cafe for post race refuel. Luckily the weather cleared from lashing rain as we left the Vale to almost perfect conditions for the race.

Good run, Steph. Even if I could run a race, I would still bow out of that course. We run the route on training night quite often and the hills are awful.
Hills? What hills?
Gate? Oh that'll be the one where you forgot your manners!
Thanks Debbie, but as Davie says those are not hills.
Davie, well done, you ran nice and steady and had a strong finish, manners and road running is a new concept.
PS all you needed to do was listen to the marshall!
