Celtman Extreme Triathlon 2017
If you looked up perseverance in the dictionary then you might just find a picture of Jimmy Dryden. He was taking on this beast of a race for the fourth time, which says something in itself as most people wouldn’t even consider entering once and of those that do, once is usually enough. It’s pretty brutal!
Highland Cross 2017
This is another event that people seem to go back to year after year which is a sign of a good event. This year, Marin, George, Angus and Claire all took up the challenge of the 50 mile duathlon (20 miles on foot and 30 miles on bike). The route traverses the Scottish Highlands from the west coast in Kintail through Glen Affric and Strathglass to Beauly on the east coast.
Loch Ore Sprint
Susan Richardson, Julie Robb and Jenny Clarke were up at the crack of dawn on the 11th to venture down to Loch Ore for the sprint triathlon. Julie said, ‘It was a good course, not too chilly a swim. They said about 15 degrees but not sure I believe that! There was a wee climb in the bike (673ft according to Strava) but finished with a downhill and the run was pretty flat. It was a good atmosphere (shame about the weather – it poured at the end) and they also had a kids tri on.’
Susan gave it the thumbs up and said that she, ‘would definitely like to do this one again.’
