We’re around halfway into the October virtual races and time to look at how the members have been getting on with some muddier races.
Timing might be key this month... go after a few wet days and you may find the trail course more challenging and there might be yet more road works on Blackness road!
4 men have taken on the trails of Beecraigs. Paul Dudchenko is the fastest around the 2-loop course in 36:28 (31:17 handicap), with Ian Fyfe very close behind in 36:49. Ian's time is currently the fastest handicap of 30:34. Neil Anderson in 3rd currently just 12 seconds down from Ian at 37:01 (31:07) with Roddy Simpson at 47:12 (32:37).
I’ve not yet seen any of our ladies results from Beecraigs.
This month, the 5k is the reverse route of the previous months. The Jury is still out on which way is the fastest. So far, some quicker, some not. However, Lynsey Hay has put down a strong time on the new route, again going a little faster month on month to record 20:41 (20:31 handicap). Lynsey is also currently our fastest October athletes around the new route.
Paul Dudchenko is also our fastest male around the 5k in 21:27 (18:24) to hold maximum points on both routes as it stands. Malcolm Hughes, also under 22 min in 21:59 (18:33) with Neil Anderson just 30 seconds behind in 22:29 (18:54). Roddy Simpson completes a group of 3 who have done both events with his 25:47 which is also the fastest male handicap time so far (17:49).
Plenty more time to get some local Beecraigs knowledge and get a time on the board. don't forget to upload your run to the website.
