Dunbartonshire Cross Country Relays, 20th October 2007
In the end we had a good turnout of 9 men and 3 women racing at Garscube on a fine Autumnal afternoon. Don, Steffen, Nigel & David R made up the men's 1st team, finishing about 6th overall, with Hamilton, JD, Simon and Paulo making up the second team. Rob ran the 1st stage for our third team!
Val H, Muffy and Pauline came 6th in the women's race.
Over and above that we had a good turnout of marshalls, with Drew, Margaret, Isabel, Laura, Pat, Christine and Myra all doing their bit for club and county!
I'll leave it to the runners to provide commentary on the race itself, as it all went by in a blur to me. In particular we want to know how Don managed to run into a tree?

It was a great day out Dave, well done to you and all your helpers, it was a good day out, especially the tea and sticky buns at the end. As for my run I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would, with the legs feeling not too bad for a change. Lovely varied course, parkland, woodland and riverland - excellent, and great underfoot too. Got caught out a bit though by the finish arriving sooner than I expected and might have squeezed a few more seconds off my time.

Nice to see see a good turn out at Garscube. Let's hope we can get a few teams out for the Cumbernauld National Relays next weekend.

The tree was in fact a wooden post cunningly hidden in the middle of the trail. Great route apart from this. Lets get a good turn out for the National!!

Yes, well done Dave & helpers.He loves it really.Just to mention though,is everyone aware that Dave was setting the trail at 8.00 a.m. Sat.This, after getting back from work at 9.00 Friday night. Is there no end to his dedication to a small to medium sized running club in the West End of Glasgow.Shhh. don't mention the dedication. I did once, but I think I might have got away with it.
