Yes indeed, I did win the the Traprain Law race on June 12th(?) 1987. It was a week after my Marine Biology final exams and all I had done for about 3 months was study and train, including a LOT of track work at Meadowbank under the coaching of Malcolm Brown who let me train with his Edinburgh Uni track guys. My time was 41.28 which was, I think, the slowest time on the trophy at that point. Maybe still is. I beat Joe Forte ( for the first time - a notable scalp!) for 20 seconds, particularly as he fell iheadlong in the River Tyne at the crossing while trying to catch me! That win scored me a sports scholarship from East Lothian Council that got me free access to Meadowbank and to all the East Lothian sports facilities, which was brilliant! Ah, the glory days!Scottish Nature Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02020233132563195888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4718942774945201459.post-91566918537701764332013-06-09T12:54:58.964-07:002013-06-09T12:54:58.964-07:00Great race report Peter, a lot different to your b...Great race report Peter, a lot different to your beach running blogs!, As a non runner i read the pain involved, similar to when i once raced MTBs. <br />My big bro Scot Mathieson won the Traprain race one year, around mid 1980s? sure someone who reads on here will know the year!coastkidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06722983165386248189noreply@blogger.com
