Bellahouston Road Runners had an impressive turnout of 12 men and 7 women for this flat race in bright conditions along the esplanade in Greenock. As expected, the first half of the race was great but then we turned round and all of a sudden that nice gentle tail wind became a gale-force headwind. The injustcie of it all! After a battle with the wind it was back to Battery Park for a final lap-and-a-bit of the park, complete with an exciting crossing of paths with the other runners.
Yet again it was the women (Elaine, Mary and Shona) who stole the show, winning bronze team medals.
The men however missed out on a team medal by just ONE point! Must try harder guys…
Seriously though, there were quite a few PBs getting posted today and some valuable club championship points earned, so well done everyone. And big thanks to the enthusiastic support from the Bellas who weren’t racing. Results attached below.
