While the rest of us where recovering from yesterdays race in Cookstown, Alan McMillen ran the Scott & Gault 10mile road race today with an ever impressing time of 60:15. Does he ever slow down?

Great Race yesterday (11.08.06). Weather was kind on a pretty flat but sometimes undulating course. Times are now on the Results Diary Page.

After the fantastic weather we’ve been having, the Ards 5 Mile Challenge turned into a damp and clammy affair. A team from SeaparkAC took the challenge of a reportedly hilly course. Well, it was hilly… A few challenges, but not too bad. The SeaparkAC team came in with outstanding times and unofficially (until we get the official results) some got PB’s. The specific training and dedication is beginning to show results. Well done everyone. Results and of course pics to follow…
