Strong CAAC performance at 7 hills

Submitted by AlexC on Mon, 17/06/2013 - 2:02pm

I'm getting bored waiting for Jan's witty yet captivating review of this race so this will have to keep you all going until he posts.

After much route discussion and recce's the morning of the race arrived. Perfect for sun bathing but not sure about racing! I made my way up Calton hill to see a bunch of cheery caac runners and supporters. Dean admitted he'd been carbo loading with German beer the night before, Susan was looking a touch nervous, i dont know why, and Jan was relaxed as always. great turn out from the elite squad with the team prize in their sights.

Submitted by Timdog on Thu, 13/06/2013 - 9:25pm

Yes! The time is upon us for the second installment of our Viking style saga for promotion to valhalla. It has been told that we will smash and burn up the running track at Wishaw. Our first skirmish at Grangemouth saw us pillage many podium places but the strength of the enemy struck us down to 3rd on the day. Come on, lets go berserk in Wishaw.

Anyone who gets a pb gets a drink from my drinking horn.

The timetable is attached, 200s and 1500s are the focus of the day. Sign up, email me (timothy.norwood at gmail.com), text me (07840874639) if your interested.

Biggest turnout for a Meadows race that I could remember with 85 runners taking in the great weather for the 5K. Good showing from CAAC but special mention must go to young Scott with a massive pb and I'm looking forward to the pint he's promised for acting pacemaker on the night.

CAAC Results:

2 Michael Crawley CAAC 15.36 2nd M
6 Ross Milne CAAC 17.13 6th M

Dermot vs the girls!

Records are made to be broken, and this lot are certainly doing so with a gusto in 2013. Kudos especially go to Julie Malko who is single handedly rewriting the Female endurance records. Throw in the performances of Hannah and Caitlin making huge strides in the middle distance events and the Female Club Records are falling by the week. Dermot has chalked one up for the lads with a solid 10 Mile at the Tom Scott in April this year.

Dechmont Law 10K Trail Race

Submitted by MikeA on Mon, 10/06/2013 - 3:25pm

Post Edinburgh marathon and I've been targeting the shorter races so headed through to Livingson for the Dechmont law 10K Trail race. Although I know the course well it had been remeasured with an added loop through the woods making up the shortfall from previous years. Conditions were perfect and it's hard to imagine the slog this course can be in the Winter cross country. The start wasn't all out and I found myself in a group and kept with them for a few KM until they pulled away but I was enjoying the tough hills and turns and by now it was a solo effort and it actually didn't feel li

A quick report on a busy week for school competitions with some fantastic performances, a Scottish Schools gold and a complete re-write of the women's middle distance club records. On Friday and Saturday five of our juniors headed to Grangemouth in the blistering heat for the Scottish Schools track and field championships. First up was the 800m with Caitlin Arnott running in the under 15 girls. Caitlin ran very strongly to win her heat in 2m23.2 and qualify for the final with the fastest time.

Skye Half Marathon 2013

Submitted by Dean Carr on Sun, 09/06/2013 - 11:05pm

Gillian, Keith and I took the long drive up to the Isle Of Skye on Friday to take part in the 30th running of the Skye Half Marathon this weekend. We were blessed with some of the most glorious Scottish weather and it looked like it might be another hot and hilly race for us this year. Leaving from Portree High School the first 2 miles are tough will a few sharp climbs, but the scenery was stunning to help take your mind of things.

Meadows Mile

Submitted by MikeA on Fri, 31/05/2013 - 9:00am

Summer had finally arrived on Wednesday and 3 from CAAC headed up to the Meadows for the Self Transcendence 1 mile race. Unfortunately the first stretch of pavement is being repaired so we were diverted to running on the grass and a quicker start than usual helps avoid some of the obstacles such as trees and the occasional bench!

Results:
5th Chris O'Brien 4:51
18th Mike Anderson 5:16
31st Chris Peggie 5:50

61 ran.
