Apologies for the delay in this race report, here it is by our very own Peter Flynn
This was the first year for this race and will be on the calendar for next year. The run was out and back around Strathclyde Park quite tricky course with a few hills.
Bike section was three times around the park again quite technical hilly at bits and fast at others. This race was organized by Shona from Glasgow tri club as you know she is a GB athlete and was a great success with many top triathletes and cyclists I would certainly recommend it.
I was very anxious about doing this race as it was the first in five years but felt good as the race went on. My run was slower than I did before but I felt very strong on the bike having passed about ten athletes going onto the second run. I finished 10th overall in a time of 1hr 25 minutes 10 seconds 1st super vet.
