Carlops Handicap 20th Aug 03
Organiser: Alun Morton-Lloyd
|
It was the best turnout yet
for the Handicap Series - 23 club members attended to ran the Carlops handicap
on a dry, bright and breezy evening. The race followed the burn up
to North Esk Reservoir, then a cross-country
route to the foot of West Kip and back along the undulating and very
run-able ridge of Spittal Hill and Patie's Hill. While
several runners took slight deviations on the route (including myself),
there was good grouping on the run in, and most of us crossed the finish
line in close procession. This gave the organiser some difficulty
recording the finish times! Ian Jackson won the race by a mere 10
seconds behind Adam Ward who ran the fastest time. Adam started last
but managed to make up all-but-one place before the end. As darkness
fell we proceeded to the Alan Ramsay for supper and drinks. Despite
all efforts, Alan MacDonald holds on to a remarkable 13-point lead
in the series, having managed to get an unbeatable triple maximum-point
score to date.
