NATIONAL YOUNG ATHLETES ROAD RACE 2014

Sunday 16th March saw our 3 Musketeers Megan, Helen & Louise competing in the National Young Athletes Road Race Championship held for the 2nd year at Heriot Watt University Riccarton campus near Edinburgh.

This is their first year as under 15s so all season they have to step up and run longer distances and today was no different.   In a field of 52 girls the route took them around 1 short lap and 1 big lap covering a distance 4.3k within the grounds of Riccarton campus and all showed their consistency and strength in running over long distances.  First home was Megan Anderson (46) in a time of 21:05, followed by Helen Anderson (50) 21:43 and Louise Brown (52) who was recovering from a sleep over party with a time of 22:12.

Well done to Megan, Helen & Louise for racing today.
