Moorfoots at Lasswade 10 mile RR

Pic - Julia, in the bunch at mile 2
In very Spring-like conditions, a huge contingent of Moorfoots (both runners and supporters - the Hobbs girls) travelled to the village of Roslin for the 2010 Lasswade AC 10 mile road race.
Spoils for the day included the men's team prize, second place in the women's team prize and a handful of 'course bests' over the hilly route. (I can only recall one short section of the route which could be considered flat...all that hill rep training is finally paying off...)
Mike Reid (56:46 10th), James (57:23 11th) and Wull's (59:28 16th) sub 60' times secured the first team prize of the year for the Moorfoots, with Tom (60:29 23rd) amd Darin (60:46 24th) not far behind...
Johnny's 'sub 65' target for the day sounded ambitious but he achieved this with ease (64:33 39th). Kenny's 65:46 47th was almost 3 mins faster than last year (beat that !! 1 year older, 3 mins faster !!), enough to hold off the fast improving Julia (67:24 62nd, 5th lady !) who lead the charge for the Ladies team.

Rachael's top 100 position (71:46 95th) consolidated the Ladies team position and Alison secured the second place for the team with a solid 77:30 (164th) for a comfortable top half of the field finish.
The day was rounded off nicely with some top nosh back at the Whitehill FC ground - the weather being pleasant enough to sit outside, believe it or not....
