It was a lovely day for the Comrie Relay this year and Carnethy had three teams. A star studded A team; an Over 40s team and a Mixed team. The A team of James Waldie (leg 1), Konrad Rawlik & Iain Gilmore (leg 2), Eoin Lennon (leg 3) and Mike Reid (leg 4) completely dominated the race by leading all the way and recording the fastest time on every leg to win (for the third year running) by about 24 minutes ! The Over 40 team of Steve Best (1), Mike Lynch & Euan Mackinnon (2), Harry Gilmore (3) and Neil Burnett (4) finished 2nd Over 40 and 5th overall, while the Mixed team of Fiona Mackinnon (1), Matt Jones & Mary Lye (2), Andy Spenceley (3) and Adam Gamble (4) were also 2nd in their category and finished 8th overall.
This is a great low key event organised by Strathearn Harriers with what must be the best refreshments at any hill race – a post race BBQ and an amazing range of cakes – more than enough for everyone to get completely stuffed. Just as well we had run hard beforehand!
