TriBridges

TriBridges athletes were at it again, but this time up north in the Scottish Sprint Championships. This season has truly kicked off👌
-
We had Colin McMorin who's no stranger to short sharp racing, with his recent exploits in Duathlon with a 2nd place and his recent performance in Time Trials - Colin was there to win and win he did, taking the Scottish Title in the 35-39 Age Category. 🥇
-
Then we had Wendy Still, again no stranger to racing this year yet Wendy has gone from extreme triathlons right back to a sprint. From delivering great performance at Celtman to taking 3rd spot in her Age Category. 🥉
-
Leona Doherty completed her first official triathlon, which whilst is always an achievement was an even larger achievement given the open water swim and huge swell in the North Sea. Not only did Leona finish in a cracking time but she also was on top in her age category taking 3rd spot🤟
-
Finally, our chairman Marc Preece was back at after his recent Sub10 Ironman
in Hamburg. Ironman to Sprint isn't the easiest transition, but thankfully his years of experience shown through and he took the 🥈 in his Age category.
-
Some fantastic racing from all, next up we have Monikie Standard Triathlon for all here except Colin who's on restricted movements waiting the birth of his 2nd child🙏.

What an absolutely fantastic evening at the TriBridges Annual Christmas Dinner last night!
We were well and truly looked after by the good folks at Lóuie Brown's. The food was superb and the service was outstanding, thank you for a great night!

(apologies for the blurry photo, might have been a few malbecs in at that point!)

Several members took part in the superb Balbirnie Duathlon on Wednesday. This annual event is expertly organised by our pals at Glenrothes Triathlon Club and supported by Balbirnie House Hotel who laid on an excellent post-race BBQ.
The usual format of a 5k run, 20k bike and 2.5k run was the arrangement which our eager members took on. For the uninitiated, the run includes three ascents of a climb affectionately known as variations of 'cardiac hill' or 'heart-attack hill'. We can think of other names, none of which are publishable here dear reader.
GTC also arranged a cracking spell of weather, if not a bit windy but that was only of real concern to those on deep section wheels (hold on tight!).

Scores on the doors are as follows:
Chris Stuart placed an excellent 5th overall from the 71 finishers in 1.11.25.
Stephen Nicholson in 1.14.35 placing 11th.
Scott Hutchinson in 1.20.15 and 22nd
Michael Atkinson finished 38th in 1.29.04.

Huge thanks to the organisers, Balbirnie House Hotel and all the fantastic volunteers!

Next up...Monikie Sprint Champs on the 6th July 🏊🏻‍♂️🚵🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♂️
