Steve Wylie & Robert Gilroy had a right ding-dong battle for 1st place last night @ the Kilmarnock 10k road race resulting in Steve taking 1st place in 31:00 giving the onlookers a sprint finish  with Robert just 3 secs behind.The duo were neck & neck from the start of the race & were followed  by Kerry Wilson(last years winner) who turned in a new PB taking 3rd spot in 32:18.John MacNamara made up the winning team along with Robert & Kerry by taking 5th place in 33:38. Damp drizzly conditions greeted the 114 runners who turned up.
 

4 club members toed the line for the 22nd Troon Tortoises 10 k road race.

Kerry Wilson travelled over to Arran for the annual 10k road race & came away with top prize in a field of only 42 runners.Kerry led from start to finish & was rarely threatened as he came in 1:41 ahead of George Irving of Irvine AC with a time of 33:01.Kerry running his 4 race in 8 days  felt heavy legged after halfway but surprisingly ran the 2nd half of the course faster.It was a mild day on the island with 1 small shower during the race & a wee breeze on way back to the start.

A busy weekend for club members and a few medals too!
