The wind and rain may have been vicious this Saturday but this did not deter our intrepid competitors in various events around and beyond Argyll. Paul made a superb 1/2 marathon debut on hilly Coll with a time of 2:09:08 whilst another island racer Helen braved the storms, and hills for the Skye Quiraing 10k, she had a superb time of under 56 minutes. The inaugural Tarbert ten k proved a challenge with two hill ( there is a theme here!) climbs and a surprisingly warm finish...the times reflect the stiffness of the run and everyone seemed happy with their performance. Toby 42:55 as usual led the way for inveraray jogscotland and despite a fall finished in 5th place, father followed son with Garret 54:29 racing Mid Argyller Iain for the line. Fee was a few minutes afterwards at 58.33 with Janet nursing her sore foot over the finish line in a very acceptable 73.02.The 5km have a great entry and our js girls did us proud with great performances from first timers Cheryl and Laura 35:27. Rosie 31:47put in a great time too but finish of the day goes to Freya 22:53 who raced for the line to come in fourth overall and First Lady home.
Our new beginners block starts tomorrow at 6pm at The Shelter Shed with the Advanced beginners at the same time. Movement between the two groups is flexible and a matter of individual choice week by week. Everyone is very welcome to attend either session. The Thursday intermediate group will be on as usual at 7pm. I have a wee challenge in mind for all groups!
