Boghall Handicap 2007

It was a fine night as I headed from Roslin on the short run to Boghall. I had inspected the start times and thought that perhaps my year of living obesely had paid off. I had a good chance.

The only fly in the ointment was Win Rampen. He had a 13 minute start and at the junior run on Monday he had been showing an uphill running ability I had never seen before.

There was a good turn out of 33 runners (it would have been 34 if Paul Ritchie had not brought two left feet!), and it was a fine evening. It seemed a long time till the 30 minutes had passed and it was my start time.

I headed off with Simon and Dominic and was soon on that long uphill to the summit of Allermuir. I managed to leave my co-starters behind as I reached the col and the final slog to the summit was grueling as ever. The run down to that strange metal thing was pleasant and it was gratifying to pass a few people on the way up Castlelaw.

Win, however was far in the distance and I could see I had no hope. i didn't know at that time that new-to-hill- running Oz Oswald was well ahead of Win, but as no membership money had been passed to Moira it was Win that won the plaudits and can now look forward to a bottle of win(e) at the end of the season.

Every one seemed to enjoy themselves and we had a great turnout for the beer and food at The Steading where we helped Nick Shierloh celebrate his heinz birthday (video here).

Well done to Willie Mykura on managing single handedly to sort out the results.
