A report on the race from Leon Johnson
The whole thing was a great experience, extremely well organised and the dinner/reception was very enjoyable.Standard was pretty high with some very impressive individuals at various age groups. England and Ireland tended to dominate the races. http://www.scottishathletics.org.uk/30966-2/

I’m happy with my effort, I really wanted to enjoy the experience, run steady and not struggle/feel bad in the last bit. Started passing quite a few in the last 3Km although got out kicked in the last 150m which was a tiny bit annoying as the Irish guy was a V40.

I was the 4th Scottish runner to cross the line in our race: Iain Reid (V40), Jozsef Farkas (V35), Scott Brember (V45) and then me – the Scottish Athletics summary mentions Bobby Quinn as V45 but they’ve made a mistake as he’s actually a V50.
We (V40s) got a team bronze which I’m delighted about, it weighs an absolute tonne!
