Lasswade Open Cross Country
Last Sunday myself, Steve and Keith headed out for the 30th running of this event. My first thoughts on seeing the flat grassy course was 'this would be a walk in the park' thinking it was similar to Prestonpans. How wrong I was as we headed along then down the hill to the hidden part and through the valley of mud with no time to recover as we hit the
short hill before returning to the flat part of the course. It was 3 times round which did make it a challenge but it was also enjoyable being off road. As a team we finished 6th which wasn't bad.

Keith finished in superb 2nd place with only Ross Matheson Lasswade AC finishing ahead of him. Mike ran extremely well and finished well up field. I ran at a more sedate pace, keeping an eye on things at the rear of the field, someone’s got to do it, I wasn't last, suppose that the only positive I can take from the run.
I noticed that there were notable CAAC results in the juniors. Stephen Addison finishing 2nd under 11 boy and Hanna Addison finished 2nd under 15 girl. Some good runs by all the CAAC juniors though.
