This year’s Chirnside Chaser’s leg of the Borders XC series was replanted in the ground of the magnificent Duns Castle – more info - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duns_Castle

The course was an interesting one, with a mix of mud (sticky/slidey/clarty - all available on the day), potholes, puddles, tree vaulting and an interesting equestrian segment – complete with log jump and water feature. A little more testing than usual at 4.9 miles.

There was a good turnout of Senior Moorfoots, on what was a ‘blustery’ morning, who produced some excellent individual results. Jen was first lady back, followed by Carol and Rosie 30 seconds later.

First gent, recorded on finishing marshal’s iPhone, was Milan, coming in in 7^th and Nigel and Andy battling it out for 12^th and 13^th.

Team results-wise, the males are placed in 3^rd on the team scoreboard and the female team 2^nd on the day. It will be interesting to se how it all falls in to place after the final leg in Gala on 6^th March.

Well done to Chirnside – a well organised event with a bit of everything and buckets of encouragement from the marshals. Results here https://www.webscorer.com/race?raceid=268714
