Jack Crawford 10K 2007, Bishopbriggs

Well, the lucky bag wasn’t so overflowing this week; a Tunnocks wafer, a banana and a bottle of water stuffed into an Asda bag….that’s more like it.

This is a hard wee race, mostly along the Forth & Clyde canal. The weather was appalling with strong winds and rain, and it’s more like a trail race than a road race. Average times were considerably slower than at the Nigel Barge last week as a result. 10 Westies braved the elements, but where were the Westies Women? As usual, Chris was first Westies home, followed by Dave, Bill, Hamilton, Gibbie ( a welcome return), Jason ( back into league conquering mode), Ian, Davy B, Robert and Drew. A welcome return to racing for Couch as well….but you need to get back into a Westies vest soon! Good support also from Alan Anderson and Charlie, especially in the miserable weather!

Now….which colour vest would be most suitable for these conditions, black or gold?????????
