Borders XC League Race 2 Dunbar (By Peter Caddick)

 

On Sunday 27 November ten Moorfoot's travelled across to Dunbar under clear blue skies and bright sunshine. After a delayed start at 1215 the course was similar to last year with the beach section reversed in order to space everyone out before the kissing gate queue (still queued!) and allegedly to avoid an Elder style drop and roll through the dunes. Milan,Danny, 

Dean and Quirky all ran strongly with Quirky admitting to hold himself back at times. In the ladies section excellent runs from Carol, Gillian, Rosie and Dorien saw the team finish on the podium for third place. 

In the middle section Ian again held off Pete C with a steady pace. The men’s team finished a respectable fifth. Mention again to many strong junior performances with the outstanding Thomas Hilton again coming home first holding on to his lead for most of the race. Special mention to Sophie Collins (former MFT) as second female overall. 

A thank you to Dunbar for a well organised event. As the sun set Moorfoots hit the road back to the Borders for a range of refreshments in immediate preparation for the upcoming Spittal Beach showdown.


Sorry we didn't manage to capture the whole team today
