NATIONAL XC CHAMPS

WHILE MOST OF THE WESTIES WERE SWILLING IN THE FLESHPOTS OF LOCH OSSIAN, A FEW OF US WERE PLOUTERING THROUGH THE VERDANT GRASSLANDS OF CUMBERNAULD. WELL WHEN I SAY A FEW, I REALLY MEAN JUST ME AND BRIAN EDRIDGE WHO I MANAGED TO COERSE INTO A YELLOW VEST, SO AT LEAST I HAD SOMEONE TO HAND OVER TO! THE FIELD SET OFF AT ONE HELL OF A PACE LED BY JOHN NEWSOM OF PITREAVIE. I SET OF A TAD MORE LEISURELY AND MANAGED TO PULL MYSELF UP TO 76TH POS OUT OF 102 STARTERS WITH A TIME OF 16 38. (2 MIN & 24SEC FASTER THAN THE LAST TIME I RAN THIS COURSE, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN DAVE HINT! HINT!) I HANDED OVER TO BRIAN WHO STROLLED ROUND IN 19:03 TO LEAVE US IN 88TH POS BY THE END OF LEG 2 AND THAT WAS IT. OH YES THE RACE WAS WON BY HBT, AND CENTRAL WERE 2ND.
