Results for first 200 runners

Strong field for Scottish National 10k Road Championships, with Eritrean athletes once again taking the first 3 places.

I jogged round the hilly course with tired mind, body and legs, and finished in a time of 37:10 for 50th position. This was 97 seconds slower than last year, when I managed 35:33.

The last of the 4 Polaroid races was won by Chris MacKay in 30:59. First lady was Susan Partridge in 34:38. I finished 30th in 35:33, and was 5th V40.

There's quite a long climb and descent through the park by Loch Lomond in the first half. The second half got hotter and hotter as the clouds melted away, replaced by strong sunshine.
