Bruce Results

25 Jan 2004 - Bruce Winter Series 2004 - Race 1

A small one in comparison to some of the triathlons on the circuit but what the hec peeps its good practice. Run 2k, Cycle 13k, Swim 400m and a blast it was too. I was in mass start 3 described as the slow guys! Its true. A nice and fast 2k run mainly off road to start with and by the end I looking forward to the cycle round the Lochgelly countryside as I was a wee bit puffed out.

The cycle was good but had to watch out for a few pot holes and ice. Managed to catch a few back markers from the mass start 2! Loved the bike bit, should have been longer. Max speed 33mph I hope the speed cops were not out.

Then the dreaded swim. Only 400m. Two strokes front crawl and I caught up with the guy in front and changed to breast stroke yet again. I was sore and could not get back into the crawl despite many months of practice. Back to the pool on Tue night to practice more.

Race 2 is slightly longer apparently...3k run, 19k cycle, 400m swim. Come on 22 Feb 2004.

Craig's Results

5 Jan 2004 - Edinburgh Bicycle NYD Triathlon

First race of the year goes to Craig Hamilton who on the 1 Jan 2004 decided that a Triathlon was better than a Hogmanay beer. Iam assured that a few beers followed the race. Craig finished 154 from 311 finishers.....an excellent result. PB to be confirmed.

The hardest bit?.....'the transition'. There is a technique in the transition believe it or not and looking at the results a few minutes off the transition and Craig would have been in the top 70!!!
