Traprain Law Hill Race 2002

East Linton delivered its usual sunny weather for the Traprain Law Race. This is an open race following Carnethy's policy of no restrictive "permits" or surcharges for non-existent services from other bodies.
Conditions were very warm and humid. The river was tranquil and refreshing. The nettles were stimulating. The killer bees had not returned (was it foot and mouth disease?). The craggy climb of the Law was dry. The fixed ropes arranged for the greasy wet conditions of the previous night were unnecessary.
Ronnie Gallagher of Westerlands demonstrated growing Veteran Power with his outright win in 39-34 and provided another pointer to Senior Men's endangered species status.
Angela Mudge delivered a predictable new women's record time of 41-43 (Joyce Salvona's 1996 record was 44-55) and yet another pointer to Senior Men's endangered species status. She took 4th place overall, following Ronnie, Keith Hood of Corstorphine and Brian Marshall of HELP.
Carnethy secured the team prize despite the results computer's attempt to deny them the victory over local team HELP.
Many thanks to the Bill Cowan of the local police, Carnethy members and many others who helped with the marshalling.
