Well it was a great day for running around coastal dunes and
taking photos even if I just did the latter.
Scottish retained the Senior Men’s title in the main relay event with
Harry Burnard clocking the fastest lap of the day at 12.48 – the only person to
go under 13 minutes.
Having the time of
his life charging up the first steep rise just over 1k from the start was Malcolm
Hodge running for the No 3 Scottish Men’s Team.
Apart from running the 2nd fastest lap time he was clearly
intending to pull a fast one over the Scottish No 2 team. But in the end this was not to be.
While the Scottish club had 3 teams
finishing before WHAC arrived home it is important to note that WHAC did not
have a victory in this race as a gaol. It is looking at other events in which
to do damage.
But WHAC didn’t go home empty handed winning the Junior Men’s
and Junior Women’s races plus the Senior Women’s race. In the JW race Phoebe
Knight running for WHAC posted a 13.59 lap which is fast enough to be in the boy’s
team.
Ruby Muir running for the No 1 Scottish
team was the fastest SW in 14.39 followed by Sarah Drought who got the WHAC No
1 team off to a winning start with a 15.09 lap.
In the masters grade Stephen Day ran a respectable 13.18 to
save the day for the No 1 Scottish Masters team which up until that point was
behind the WHAC No 1. It might have been a different outcome if the WHAC running
star from the 1990’s, Phil Starr, had been in the No 1 team.
