ManOR Mouse is the competition for the combined results for the Manor Hill Race on the Saturday and the Pentland Skyline on the Sunday. Those tough enough (crazy enough) to do the back to back races are in the mix....
Manor Hill Race
Wet conditions this year, with the cloud down over the hills from start.
Top Moorfoot was Mike McG in 5th place (76:16 and 2nd MV40) with Darin a minute or so back in 7th (77:45). Colin Williams ran strongly for a superb T10 finish (9th 79:07) and his best result in this race to date;p last years winner Mike Reid not far back in 81:45 (12th)...perhaps keeping his powder dry for a Man or Mouse attempt....
Julia took 3rd Female spot with a solid 94:08 (35th), and another race chalked off in her recoprd brfeaking year - will she achieve 50 SHR races in 2011..?
Pentland Skyline
Three Moorfoots in the race - two of whom were in with a shout in the Man or Mouse competition...
Mike Reid managed a sub-3 2:59 for 12 th place, in what were less than ideal conditions, with runners buffeted by the wind all day.
Russell Anderson's 3:14 (35th) was good enough for 3rd MV50 and Julia's 3:35 had real Manor Mouse potential...
Manor Mouse
So, Mike Reid and Julia did both races....how did they fare in the combined competition..?
Mike was 3rd, his 4:20:58 only 4 seconds behind the 2nd placed runner...
Julia's 5:09:18 was good enough for 2nd placed lady.
Well done both...that's a lot of running in a weekend !
