On Sunday 6 September, my brother, Fergus and I (Cat) took part in the swim across the Forth organised by Vigour Events. We’d decided to take part back in the spring, and had resolved to do it as a charity swim to raise funds for Maggie’s Centre, who provide invaluable support […]
Aberfeldy Middle Distance Triathlon 2015 – incorporating The Scottish Middle Distance Championships on 16-Aug-15 Bobble hat and gloves, 12°C and “slightly less in places” was the theme for Sunday morning’s Scottish Championship middle distance event in Aberfeldy. The cold didn’t stop the midges as they enjoyed the almost windless day leading to […]
As the day of departure for France finally arrived I felt many emotions! A great sense of relief – relief that this constant focus/training was coming to an end, relief that I was finally going to put these legs to the test and relief that once it was over I could rebuild […]
Ironman Switzerland – race report Why on earth did I enter another Ironman? I blame Mark Rolland for getting me excited when he entered IM Quebec! With a month to go I was trying to find reasons to pull out as I knew that I had not done the training […]
The strength of the club continues to grow as we had 27 juniors taking part in the Scottish Youth Championships at Bellahouston on Saturday. Fusion put on another great day and were blessed again with the weather turning good. We saw great races across all age groups of boys […]

After concerns about if the event would go ahead due to landowners permission (he said yes, then no 6 days before the race!) and with a quickly prepared route change Pentland triathletes did a great job to make this race happen. This was lucky as we had a great club […]
   Amidst very blustery conditions the Peebles Come and Try kicked off with an ominous – and torrential – downpour just as the first heat started in the pool. Cat MacLean was the lone Edinburgh#3 member taking part in her second ever triathlon. It was a long wait for heat […]
Unfortunately due to Stirling Tri ending up on the same day the usual large club attendance at Peebles was missing but a good sized group still turned up and had a good day. Daniel Mitchell took the Youth 1st place.
We arrived late Saturday afternoon sometime after the team relay event that Sally, Emma, Roy and Kev had competed in, to glorious sunshine and light winds giving me the opportunity for quick recce of the course. Strathclyde loch was cordoned off by the Commonwealth games boom to build […]
