Hunters Bog Trot 22/4/06
We managed to get five on the start line for this 4 miler and it is a dead simple race that always provides a laugh with the Welsh Wizard Robin Thomas giving the pre-race safety brief and prize giving which is all about extracting the urine. Robin has grown a beard but was no match for the Portobello Club in the Taliban look-a-like contest. Paul Eunson got a packet of razor blades. The Glasgow club Westerlands got a right case of urine extraction with train timetables, maps etc. Big Ivor was very smart in his brown blazer. My favourite prize was for City of Edinburgh who were given some brown dye for their vests to add when they wash them; the Trotters never wash their vests. As for the race well Rab Henderson managed to make the start line for the first time in months which was nice to see as was new kid on the block Andrew Livingston who looks like he has the potential for Rotherham. Well done and you will be quicker next year. Chippy Young managed 4th female which was a strong run. My own performance was almost 3 mins down on last year but get the chance to bounce back at Strathyre this Sat 29th for a killer course that takes me longer than a marathon.
Thanks to our supporters, the two Henderson girls clad in green, John Forker, Kerry and anybody else as the sweat was getting in my eyes. As for the 5k please tell Zac he has got to run Rotherham and that also applies to the one arm bandit Ben.
