A welcoming club on the North West of Edinburgh

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 turnout.
The weather wasn’t as kind as last year and Thriepmuir had a slight edge to it when you got in the water but once underway was perfect for the swim.
The bike ride was tougher than last year by all accounts and if you had done a recce of the route it would have helped to prepare for what was coming. It wasn’t a gentle peddle through the Pentlands.
The run was a nice flat route around the smaller loch to finish.
E#3 took 2 podium places in the women’s race with Sally and Nicola taking 2nd & 3rd respectively ( I suspect that Sally had the extra motivation of chasing her son as she is smiling behind him in the photos). Well done to both.
Daniel Mitchell had a good run to be first E#3 male home.
