Dollar Hill Race, 6.7.13

Dollar Hill Race, 6.7.13

Well thank the Lord that’s over. The Gladiators doing battle in the intense heat . It was brutal, bru-al, as Bren would say.Yes, and it was 40 degrees on the court. Ah, yes, it was that battle.Were you there every shot of that match? Was that you behind wee ‘eck in the “Box”? No, perhaps not.

 As for Dollar, well best not start with the heat,as you’ll never hear the end of it. Could give you a whole string of excuses and perhaps some reasons, but you ain’t getting none, see. Ohhhhh. Really it was just a wonderful day to be out on the hill. You know it’s going to be tough……….it’s the Ochils , but still under-estimate them. Starting like some spring chicken, Semple was to find himself ending like that  very over-cooked goose.  Do you remember, on returning to the tarmac, 50 metres on a very slight rise…….it’s about 1 metre for goodness sake, which all but brought this carcass to a complete halt. So,apart from that, how you say,” everysing was ticketty boo”.

 Well, it was on the tops – some marvellous  running to be had so no complaints. From our club the Lads, yes the Lads????????????? Had great runs.
