Bishopbriggs Triathlon (Provisional) results 2012
There was wind. There was rain. There were low temperatures. But it mattered not, as there was racing to be done and a triathlon to be held.
I am greatly impressed by each and every competitor for getting out in those conditions. From my vantage point clocking everyone home at the finishing line I saw numerous smiles that the elements couldn’t diminish; you all did yourself proud.
To the volunteers who gave up their Sunday, taking the brunt of the weather to ensure the race was carried out successfully, you have my thanks and the thanks of every competitor I spoke to afterwards. You did an amazing job in really tough conditions.
Thank you as well to the team co-ordinators for looking after your guys and ensuring the right people were in the right places.
And finally to the organisor of it all, David Wilson, the graft throughout the year has paid off and the work on the day to keep things running so smoothly was felt throughout the race. So stand and take a bow.
I’m proud of everyone who turned out yesterday and while I can’t promise better weather in the future, I can promise many more enjoyable races.
See y’all soon!
Colm (GTC President)

Glasgow Triathlon Club Super Summer Series 2012
Glasgow Triathlon Club Super Summer Series 2012 – organised by Gavin Thomson
A series of informal (non-coached) club bike rides, taking place over the Summer months .
Providing sufficient numbers there will be two groups to cater as best possible to the range of ability. First group average speed above 16mph. Second group below 16mph.
Where possible there will be two distances – the full route and a shorter version. Bike fitness is required – these rides, being long and hilly, aren’t suited to absolute novice riders

First open water swim – Wednesday 30th May 2012
Tradition has it that during the summer months many club members go for an open water swim at Loch Lomond on Wednesday evenings. These swims are not coached sessions. They are a group of pals going for a swim, enjoying each others company in the loch.
To celebrate the start of the open water swim season we are organising a club BBQ on Wednesday 30th May 2012
