Cademuir Handicap report 30/01/2022

Firstly many thanks to the organisers, marshalls, helpers, and course markers and collectors as these things only happen if people make them happen, so thank you to Danny Lavin, Mike McGovern, Nigel Shekleton, Tim Warner, Pete Caddick, Fin Hall and especially Pete Hall for time keeping with 23 runners finishing close together! Also to Ross Grieve for sorting out the juniors.

We certainly got the best of the day and although it was cool with frost in the shade we were treated to blue sky and no wind. Everyone seemed to have fun and great to see a lot of the runners sporting new  Moorfoot vests! A couple of Gala vests worn by our friends too. Well done everyone

First off were the U12 and they completed the short but steep course with the following results

Joel Hilton                       10:24
Ruaridh Pearson              10:34
Dan Moore                        11:19
Jack Foley                         11:24
Rory Prestwell                11:24

The results for the long course are below. It was dominated by our excellent juniors claiming the first 4 position - Ross set the handcaps for them and must have underestimated how fast they can go over longer distances so well done all. Some scorching scratch times too, with Milan Misak registering a clear win, and Elena Lee recording the fastest female time, both lowering the course records from last years handicap.

Hawick Minto Borders XC round, and Feel the Burns 2022 summary

Some great racing these last two weekends with some great results today at the Hawick Minto Borders XC round 4, and fast and furious course, a bit shorter than normal, but still with the lung busting climb up through the woods at Fatlips Castle. Full senior results are found here: https://www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=265749 Connor Quinn and Ciara Quinn had good runs in the junior race too.

The Moorfoots did really well with a great turnout runs accross the categories and the Men's team in 3rd and the Women's in 4th - fabulous stuff

Last weekend the annual Feel the Burns race organised by Selkirk Fund Runners took place, again with a good Moorfoot contigent in action and some great haggis pie afterwards! Always a rewarding course at 13 miles and lots of climb and great trails too. Over 250 and runners and again would excellent performances on what turned out to be a fantastic day for running with the sun on a cool January's day.
