Amazingly there were 10 Carnethy teams (the most ever) at the Devil’s Burdens Relay in Fife today – that’s 60 runners from the club (and we didn’t even need to double up one person!). Perhaps because of the large numbers, we won quite a few prizes .. with two first places: the Mens’ Over 40 team (and 7th place overall) and the Men’s Over 50 team (helped by our President, no less!). The Senior Women’s team came home in second place, very close behind the winner, HBT, while the Senior Men’s team had a great 3rd place behind winners Shettleston and second placed Ochils. Strength in depth was shown by our Senior Men’s B team being the third Carnethy team to finsh and coming in a high 11th place (out of 111 teams), and was first B team. The Women’s Over 50 team were probably the first female Over 50 team as well (but not an official class).
Despite it being a cold, windy and rainy day, spirits were not dampened and everyone enjoyed the day and the very tasty soup provided by Fife AC afterwards! Report
