Injuries & work commitments depleted the Carnethy entry in the Old Man’s XC at Kilmarnock on Saturday 31 January to just me. The 8.3km twisty course comprised a short lap & two longer laps taking in a sports field, a farmer’s field and a stretch along by the river. Running laps was a novelty and it was nice to receive some shouts of encouragement from Kate J & Craig M, out on the course after Kate had just been part of the winning Gala Harriers ladies team. I was happy to finish in 69th in 34:54. Thanks to the Captains for organising the entry into this.
