Normal Weather Resumed....

Sheila Morrison ran the Ignis Asset Management Women's 10k on Sunday -
the weather was cold and windy, with heavy rain towards the end. It
didn't put Sheila off though, as she ran the seond half quicker than
the first to finish in 55:52. Well done Sheila.

Sunshine!!

Given the current state of the weather, it has been a bit of a surprise to have the sun put in appearance the last two Saturdays to coincide with a couple of races (the poor weather also brings out the absent-minded side; forgetting what it's like to run in a bit of warmth and forgetting to apply the suncream!) 

 

At the Edinburgh to North Berwick on 5th May, Dunbar had a good showing with eight runners taking part. Stuart Hay came in 4th overall, taking the 1st vet prize in 2:05:15.  Ian Rowland, getting his race legs back, finished in 2:14:18, with Rhona Anderson coming over the line in 2:21:50, giving her 2nd female vet prize.  Brian Davidson had a good run, finishing in 2:28:21, with Susan Lyle finishing in an excellent 2:31:30 in her first attempt at the longer distance.  Andy Sheldrick, two weeks after the London Marathon, finished in 2:38:01, Neal Wyatt in 2:49:38 and Anne Hay in 2:51:57.

 

The Loch Leven Half Marathon on the 12th proved a popular race as ever with 491 runners completing the course, which had a change in the last couple of miles to accommodate the new finish.  Stuart finished 7th overall (and was awarded the 1st vet prize) in 1:20:03, with Ian Sills finishing 11th in 1:20:43.  Ian Rowland finished in 1:27:09, Brian Davidson in 1:31:11, Neal Wyatt in 1:43:19, Neil Jones in 1:45:05, Karen Page, coming back into racing, in 1:47:43, Anne in 1:50:51, Jane Timms, having a good run, in 1:58:58 and Theresa Leslie in 2:12:37.

London 2012

Hi,

 

To add to Anne's summary of the London Marathon this year, it was a great event and I was glad to have one of the club places and experience it for myself.

 

It turned out to be almost perfect weather on the day, with the toilet queues fractionally shorter than the race distance. The start was very busy, taking about 20 minutes to clear the first 2 miles, but it stretched out a bit after that. After giving up on catching the Kenyans, I settled down into my planned pace until the last few miles when the occasion, or possibly the previous 21 miles, started to get the better of me. In the end I was 69 seconds over my target, but not going to complain about that - Especially with the surprise that welcomed me after the race (pic hopefully attached).

London Marathon

Sure a few people would have watched the event today trying to spot a few familiar vests......

 

Lee Curtis was first Dunbar runner home in 3:31:09, with first time marathoners Andy Sheldrick and Katy Gardiner crossing the finishing line in 3:39:06 and 4:46:14 respectively.  A very big well done and hope there will be a bit of celebrating going on post race - well deserved.
