TEVIOTDALE Harriers have been keeping themselves busy over the last couple of weeks with races at both district and local levels.
Members travelled to Livingstone for the second East District races, where conditions were not too bad.
However, after having trouble with one section in particular, one senior Harrier described her experience as, “Bambi trying to run on ice,” the mud was so bad. Racing in the under-11 girls’ section, Lucy Graham disagreed.
“It was not muddy enough!” she said.
Despite the odd mudbath, though, all the Teviotdale runners did not too badly.
