ANDREW DOUGLAS OF INVERCLYDE TAKES THE LEAD IN LAST YEARS MUSSELBURGH 10K

Roland came to get Craig and myself at 8.30, still raining but looking less ominous. By the time we got to Cramond it had all but stopped and the skies even lightened. Bumped into Alex, totally in an Ipod world of his own. Steve and Jamie were there too, so a good turnout from MDAC. Steve on his umpteenth Parkrun, Jamie and Roland on their first.

As usual the talk on the start line was of previous PBs, and possible targets. In Alex’s case it was more to do with his latest shoe acquisitions.

Chilly north wind off the Forth, made the outward leg tough. At no time did I feel in control of my running. Had hopes of hanging onto Steve, but that was wishful thinking. Again far too much huffing and puffing. Felt like running through treacle. Very glad to cross the line.

Alex was 18.43. Great running from Craig with a PB of 19.23, then Steve in 20.53 (pretty good considering he is just back from injury), then me in 21.37.

Of the first timers, Jamie stormed home in a great time of 23.34, Roland in 27.24. Both benchmarks to attack next time.

Roland, Alex, Craig and myself then retired to the Cramond café for a well deserved hot chocolate and a fruit scone. Made it all worth while.

The second cross country race of the season and the first for the Scottish East District Cross Country League. Weather was glorious for mid October; dry, not too cold and no wind.

Four senior men from MDAC; Dermot, Craig, Tony and Gordon running under the Team East Lothian banner. Paddy, Frank and Sandy from HELP made up the rest of the team.

Conditions underfoot were pretty good, with just the odd bit of mud. Good running from everyone. Dermot was first home, despite one of the marshals trying to make him run an extra lap. Next home was Craig. I held off Tony (but only just). I was very glad to see the end. Seemed to be huffing and puffing all the way round. More training and cross country needed!
