After the Killin Games Race, I headed via Crianlarich to Arrochar and went for a wander up the hill above Loch Long, since I was a bit early for the Westies club handicap race. Eventually 8 runners turned up, and Elizabeth kindly volunteered to do the time-keeping.

I set off 2nd last and only caught Maria on the lower section of descent, and Johnston about 30 seconds before the finish. I managed a PW with 38:59. Donald Evans had a great run to beat his time of last year, and finished in 35:48, a new club course record.

A dry but windy evening saw 12 Westies lining up at Blanefield Monument for the 3rd annual Dumgoyne Handicap. Expert handicapper Jenny constantly shuffled the times until finally all the runners were off. First back in the impressively fast time of 46:44 was John Donnelly. Nige and I scored a dead heat with 43:23 as the fastest time of the evening, despite setting off a minute apart. Elsie recorded a new ladies record of 54:47.

Inaugural club handicap race saw a healthy turnout of 21 runners. I had a good battle with Luke. We were level at the summit, but he flew away on the descent. I managed to keep him in sight, more or less, on the run back and clocked a slightly faster time of 43:50. Close to my estimate of 44 minutes for the route. Pat won the handicap overall, having started first and finished first.
