Stirling mud

East District cross-country championships at Stirling University on Saturday 8th proved a fine example of what cross-country has to offer. 10k in three laps round a mixed course with lashings of bitter wind, rain and of course, mud.

Nonetheless it was an enjoyable race with what seemed a large and high quality field. Six Harriers ran, all in the men's race, with Cathy having to miss the women's race because of pleurisy (surely one of this year's best excuses!)

First three Harriers home were Will, Colin and Ian, in that order, times not known. Doug sprinted past Gordon in the last ten metres to be the fourth Harrier home in just under 43 minutes, and James finished not long after. Official results available in due course.

Ali and Liz are awarded support points for turning out to provide much needed help and encouragement on a weather-wise grim day.
