East League X-country at Kirkcaldy

Sunday 25th saw some fine runs from the Harriers who turned out for the second of this year's East District League events at Kirkcaldy. Conditions were good - cool and overcast - the course was relatively dry underfoot and there was no hint of linoleum in the air to distract the runners.

In the Women's race Wendy Duigan finished in an excellent time of 29.30, less than 3 minutes behind the winner (26.37). Karen Nicholl was close on Wendy's heels in a fine 31.58.

In the Men's race Phil Mestecky overcame what looked and sounded like a serious hangover to finish in 39.08, with Ian Beattie seconds behind him in 39.22. Gordon Morrison was pleased with his time of 41.33, and James Bussey and Pete Gaylor finished well in 44.01 and 44.45 respectively. The winning time was 31.19.

It was rather a pity that call-offs meant that the club ended up one runner short to count as a team in both the men's and women's races, but many thanks to injured Phil T for his support and for capturing the unofficial times quoted above.

Apologies from me for the fact that my ineptitude with the camera means no usable photo from the event.
