HOD, I had to ask my club mate and fellow fetchie @markgall the same question, Stands for "Happy But Not Satisfied" which perfectly summed up HBNS attitude to racing. |

R.I.P. HBNS. Not someone I was acquainted with. However I was talking a Cambuslang Harrier at parkrun last Saturday who spoke very highly of him as a person & a runner. |

HBNS was a lovely man, a great clubmate, and an inspiration to me. The mantra of "Happy But Not Satisfied", the advice knowing my pre race nerves to "stop worrying about others and let them worry about you as that's your capabilities now" and the game changing shout of "relax your running, expend less energy" as I pursued Garscube like a mad one up the hill in the middle of the Scottish XC relays a couple of years back which had me run the best XC leg of my life. Three things I'll hold close to me. RIP Colin.

That's a nice vignette, thanks. I hadn't come across him here (on in real life).
