Strathaven 'Run with the Wind' 10k 2009 Results

We will hopefully see a race report from one of intrepid team but in the mean time here are the results for Sundays race.

First home was Jack in an excellent 41.03, clearly feeling strong off the back of all the Ironman training. Jack intends to do a lot of running & speed work over the next few months & go sub 40 for a 10k, though this may be the first time he has heard about that.

Next in & not far behind Jack was Alan Stirling in a very respectable 41.55.

Graeme Allan continued his run of ridiculous PB's by knocked about 9 mins off his previous best time finishing in 48.17. More to come from Graeme I'm sure, though maybe not in chunks this size!
Close behind Graeme was Gareth Jones, also with a PB (I think) finishing in 48.46. There were some serious energy additives being taken on board pre-race so this was never really in doubt.

Newly-wed Aileen Mcleavy still had a spring in her step (this WILL wear off) coming over the line in 49.13, also a PB we believe.

Frank Honings also took some serious minutes off his previous best finishing in 52.49. The prospect of spending his Sunday afternoon working in Hairmyres obviously spurred him on.

Lindsay Cruikshanks showed some good form after a few injury issues to come over the line 1.02 & finally Lynne finished her first ever 10k in 1.09.

Hopefully I haven't missed anyone - if I have let me know!

These were far from ideal racing conditions so great performances from everyone & well done for even turning up -there were nearly 100 non-starters, the most I have ever seen I think. It is only rain for goodness sake!
