BATTERY POWERED BELLAS

We were in Greenock again on Sunday 8th February, for the brilliant annual Renfrewshire AAA 5 Miler.

It’s one of our favourite races, and one or our ‘short’ Club Championship events.

The weather was kind this year, with heavy early morning rain clearing away, to leave a nice mild, bright day, with only a light wind.

We had 32 Bellas on the start line (23% of the field) at Battery Park ready for the out-in course along the Esplanade and back. Laps of Battery Park to start and finish, and great support out on the eroute!

Our top 3s were Tony Connelly (25:27, 2nd MSnr), Calum Borthwick (26:25),& Alan Moss (29:02), with Ann Robin (31:37, 1st FV40), Cathy Wood (32:41) & Katie Mathieson (36:06, 3rd FV50). Our ladies took 3rd team prize too! In addition, Shirley Wieland was 2nd FV60 in a 5 Mile PB 39:49.

A thoroughly enjoyable morning, in surprisingly good conditions! Many thanks as always to the organisers, officials, volunteers and Protay Timing.
