Harriers times and postitions were as follows:

Ali M 1:49:59 (1:49:50 chip) 288th (264th chip) 22nd 35+ F

Vic J 1:55:57 (1:55:27 chip) 350th (307th chip), 56th in 50+ M

Kathleen Campbell 2:02:33 400th (350th chip) , 41st 35+ F

Fiona Lyle 2:05:24 (2:04:45 chip) 429 th (373th chip) 33rd in 45+ F

The heavens opened to a deluge of rain at about mile 11 which made the last bit v tough, so completely drenched at the end Sad

. Well organised as per last year. Only issue would be the strange chip which you had to lace in to your shoe (???) which was a bit of a fiddle.

Well done all of you.

That deluge came over Dunkeld too - fortunately after I had finished sphering (giant inflatable ball that you climb into, get strapped into the inside and then get pushed down a hill in - v queasy tummy inducing!)

Hope the legs aren't too sore today.

Sphering??? All this ultra running has definitely fried your brain, Kaz Wink

Nobody mention base jumping! (oops).

I was at a hen weekend and it was the hen's choice of activity - actually she looked pretty much the colour I looked at the end of the fling after her shot! It was my friend who joined team kaz on the fling so when I told her that she looked that colour she reiterated that she was vert glad that we hadn't had an early hen party drink!

We also received a medal with a very strange image on it - a woman with a dress on and some stange headgear????Assume it is something historical to do with Loch Leven! Razz

Excellent results all round - though aren't our female runners entering the wrong categories? Surely they're much younger than that.... Must be the Strathearn air or something.

Very Happy
