We would like to thank ASICS UK for donating Asics Hyperspeed racing shoes and socks to Robert Riddell, MV50 who ran 10.47 to beat Sandy Cameron's time of 11.32 in the race held 20 years ago (17 July 1991).
There was a fabulous turnout for the Self Transcendence 2 mile race on weds 20th July 20th. The race co-incided with the 20th birthday of Run and Become, Edinburgh’s specialist running shop, who have helped support the events over the years.In keeping with the occasion there were several “20” themes and the entry fee of 20p was certainly appreciated!
Accompanying the usual medals were spot prizes donated by ASICS; HILLY: Assist and SIS(Science in sport).There were prizes for anyone who ran the race held 20 years ago on 17th july 1991. And it was good to see six runners from the Class of 91!
The winner on the night was Murray Strain(HBT) GB orienteering international and obviously having a good work out before his participation In the Scottish team at the Snowdon International hill race. He finished 10 seconds clear of Corstorphine’s Steven O’Brian one of the class of 91 and third placer Ray Ward.
An intensely close finish in the ladies race saw the Trotters Eilish Mckechnie just dge out Jenny Bannerman ,visiting from the highlands , both being given the same time of 11.17
The mens over50 event produced a bit of excitement as two of the class of 91 battled it out to try and win the pair of ASICS shoes on offer for beating the V 50 time of Sandy Cameron from 20 years ago of 11.30.
In the end Robert Riddell of EAC in 10.47 proved the stronger on the day over Falkirk’s Kenny Rankin(10.56).Other runners from the 1991 race were Steven O,Briens brother Chris and Dad Paul, together with Jim McGregor from Moray Road Runners. Themed prize winners were also won by Keith Dunlop of EAC in 20th place, and mike Anderson of Corstorphine (race number 20). There were also some collective prizes for Corstorphine and HBT who both turned out over 20 runners! Many trotters were spotted sporting Robin Thomas replica masks in honour of one of their much loved original members. Who unfortunately couldn’t make the race as he was delayed, awaiting a delivery of liquid refreshment for their upcoming club handicap.
Special mention to Dan Gay and Al Anthony who had a determined battle for 12th and 13th place just 10 days after they both completed the Ramsay Round. Dan had planned and prepared well for an assault on this Classic Scottish epic. Al ,rumour has it decided 2 days before to go and accompany Dan in the early stages and successfully completed the whole trip. The Ramsay, named after Edinburgh hill running legend Charlie Ramsay, is often likened to “Everest in a day” as the 70 mile route of the Lochaber hills which must be completed in 24 hours includes almost 29,000 feet of climbing .Check out http://www.ramsaysround.com/
