The new course, making the race feel more 'Long' than 'Medium' saw 10 Westies take to the Lomonds of Fife on Sunday 20th August.Don Naylor showed the field a clean pair of heels to win comfortably in 1.36.09. However the field got it's own back, showing everybody's butt a slope full of thistles on the final unique descent. Consequences of this (and new reccommended antidote) soon to be available in photo form, once Manny downloads his camera.
The "Highland Westies" staged a southern raid on the summer league points up for grabs, with Manny finishing 5th, suffering from injury (what do you mean as usual ?) and Swaz 15th. Jane Robertson finished 2nd Lady overall (and 2nd Lady vet). An off-form Cat Miller still managed 4th (2nd lady senior). Most enjoyed the new route, although the contouring off W
est Lomond and the long plod along vehicular roads through the forest were a little wearing... the single track and historic buildings adding another dimension to a fun race.Well done all - results on the shr site - please pass the Sudocrem.
