The third and final of this year's East District League cross country events was at Livingston today and a good turnout of Harriers faced a bitter wind on an enjoyable course that was changed from previous years to reduce the mud (good) and introduce more hills (not so good).
Cathy Tilbrook ran well to finish as first (albeit also only) Harrier home in the senior women's race.
In the men's race the now senior Ben Wake finished as first Harrier, drawing on the power of youth in the closing stages to hold off the more experienced Doug Flint who ran a very strong race, doubtless motivated to emulate Cathy's achievements and stand in the sunlight beyond her lengthening shadow.
Other Harriers - Gordon Morrison, Adrian Wake and James Bussey - came in not long thereafter, but Ian Beattie was clearly uncomfortable and dropped out of the race after the first lap.
Full result details to follow in due course, but at the prizegiving after the race Central emerged as the strongest club in several categories, both on the day and for the series of 3 league events overall.
