It was back to time trial business after the TLI road race at Chaplecross. Dalbeattie, for the first time this year was the venue for the 3rd in a series of ten road races. The winner again was John Moir with a time of 23:29, but Ben Smith recorded a PB with a time of 24:27 closing the gap between the two of them. Mike Thompson continued his run of for and was third with a time of 24:32.
Other results were:
Adrian Garrett 29:02, Colin Little 27:18 PB, Alfie Geddes 30:12 PB, Alec Barclay 28:42, Billy Geddes 29:51, Graham Kerr 26:44, Colin McCann 26:20, Alan Crighton 25:48, Guy Graham 27:22, Nick Pritchard 26:21, Jim McConnachie 28:33, John Patterson 24:55, Wullie McCubbin 25:44, Neil Pearson 24:45 and Robert McCalley 27:53 PB.

PB denote personnel best at this distance

These 10 mile time trials are handicapped races which gives every member a chance to win points. J. Patterson has lost top spot to reigning handicap champion M. Thompson. The seven best from ten are taken into account, so there’s plenty of time for the table to alter. Also bear in mind that the handicap alters with every PB.

I’ve been missing in action due to a cold but I quote from my spies out in the field. “Guy Graham done really well in his triathlon at the weekend. He was 8th (though I later heard it was closer to 3rd) out of 200 plus. If only he had done 4 laps instead of 3” .Now I know what I’m doing wrong.
