Nationals: it’s the final xc of the season (hills, here I come!) and one of my favourite races. God knows why, though: it’s long, fast, muddy, and if you blink you lose about 4 places, such is the competition. This year, there was a good Carnethy turnout for the senior men’s race with Andy Fallas leading the men home in 36th, me in 41st, Adrian Davis 164th, Mark Johnston 212th, and Roddy McRae 349th. A few Carnethies were spotted running for other claims: James Waldie was 37th, Andrew Gilmore 184th, his brother Iain was 25th in the U20 race, and Kate Jenkins was 72nd in the ladies race, still trying to shake off the flu. Sorry if I missed anyone! Results
