Pentland Skyline Race Profile
Who says hill running isn't a dirty business?
Record field on windy day at Pentland Skyline
(From Carnethy http://www.carnethy.com)
At the Skyline, the second of Carnethy’s double race weekend, there were a record 170 finishers and 169 of them chased the inspired winner, Oleg Chepelin from Shettleston, who was over 6 mins clear at the end having had one of those “in the zone” runs we all dream about. Murray Strain (HBT) hung onto 2nd from club mate Dan Gay. Shettleston completed the double as Fiona Maxwell won the ladies category (as well as being first Over 40 woman!) with Jacqui Higginbottom second woman and second Over 40 ! Carnethy picked up first over 40 and 50 men’s prizes through Stewart Whitlie (4th) and Murdo McEwan (31st) respectively as well as both team prizes. Graham Arthur of Ilkley was first Over 60.
It was sunny and clear, but runners had to fight the wind on the first half, though were thankful to be blown home in order to get to the cake table as soon as possible (and at least, if possible, to be there before John Blair-Fish!).
Results (results of previous years here).
Matt Davis of Carnethy won the coverted Man-or Mouse title, for the combined Manor Water and Pentland Skyline times, from the 12 brave (or foolhardy!) people who managed it this year, with Chris Oliver (HBT) winning the squeaky mouse by just 26 secs from Caroline Coyle (sorry, this was announced the wrong way round at prize-giving), due to the late burst Caroline put in at the finish of the Skyline which unfortunately cost her the mouse (or was it the tactical slowing down by Chris that won it for him?).

Only one Hillbilliy made it down to the borders for the Manor Water Hill race. This race is the first part of the Man or Mouse series with the second being the Pentland Skyline the following day.

Four Hillbillies made the trip to Ben Venue for the new hill race. Welcome back to Tiger who was running his first race in two years.
Due to the high winds, 70 mph and the fact that the mountain rescue guys could not stand up on the ridge it was decided to run an alternative route this year.

5 Hillbillies decided not to go ” Doon the water” on the club coach. Instead they opted to head for the hills at Comrie for the annual Comrie Hill Relay. For their efforts they were rewarded with great weather, a really enjoyable race and a BBQ with a cricket match put on for good measure.
