Milnathort Dash, June 21

Just realised, months late, that I haven't written anything about the Milnathort Dash, which took place in very wet conditions in June. Although this was a club Championship race, there were only 3 of us running - myself, Allan and DaveG. The rain was pretty torrential in the hours before the race, and it was much colder than you'd hope for in June, but by some fluke, the rain died down for the race itself.

Although there's a King and Queen of the Hill prize for the first runner to the top of the very first hill, there wasn't a very pell-mell sprint from the front, and it all seemed very orderly. I was first Harrier home in 35.26 - a bit more than a minute better than last year - and was 2nd M50. Sadly, no prize. Allan was next in, in 41.14, and DaveG followed in 48.57. The post-race food was of a very fine standard.
