Scottish 4k CC Champs Bellahouston

2 Westies turned out for the Scottish 4k CC Championship race at Bellahouston. yesterday and the conditions were a bit cold but dry with no significant wind. I met Cap’n Chris prior to the race and he reliably informed me that the field predominantly consisted of elite runners. Pressure or what. Would this be the race where I obtained my first last place.
Following a fast run in Saturdays park run Chris put in a great performance (13:49) narrowly edging an old adversary Jeff Farquhar of Pitreavie by 1 second. I set of in third last position and clawed in a few places on the way clocking a 16:13.
Elspeth Curran won the ladies race impressively.
