The 22nd event in this year's Champs took place today with 5k, 10k and Half Marathon options on offer at The Wild Deer Trail event in Dalkeith.
In the half, Moorfoot Junior James Moore finished an impressive second and first male in a very quick 1:31:46. Super impressive on any course but given all the twists, turns, ups & downs that is a mighty fast time.
For the seniors Ian Munro had a great run picking up podium points for 3rd place in MV60, closely followed by Tim Warner with his canine companion. Jen Misak also started but wasn't feeling 100% so opted out of lap 2.
In the 10k there was a very strong Moorfoot performance with 4 Moorfoot finishers in what we believe were the top 8. The official results look a little wonky to some of us, and we think a tail end finisher in the 5k is currently showing as the ladies winner in the 10k!😖 The results have been appealed and I think after the "stewards enquiry" the results will show that Dean Carr finished 3rd (1st in MV50), Carol Moss was 4th (certainly 1st in FV60 and actually the First Lady minus the interloper), Martin Holt 7th and Gillian Carr 8th (1st in FV50). Coreen McGovern was 1st in FV50 and Scott Gourlay rounded up the Moorfoot team "just topping his points up"!😉
UPDATE: The results were amended as expected so Carol was indeed the winning lady and placings as above.
Aside from today's efforts, Carol Moss and Ian Munro were in action last weekend at the Sedfield Serpentine 10k with Carol winning FV60. Also David Carter-Brown had a great run at the Glencoe Marathon winning MV40.
There have been the usual selection of Park Runs etc - too numerous to mention.
So with seven events left to go in this year's Champs the standings are as follows:
Carol has a 50 point lead over Gillian in second and Coreen has overtaken Jen to move into third. David Carter-Brown has moved up significantly and is in Two Breweries action next weekend so there is still all to play for. Meanwhile the spreadsheet elves are off to work out how many Championship medals to order?😃

Next up it's The Two Breweries then the Great Scottish Half.
