Celtman Triathlon

[GetCarter]

...was held here on Saturday. Thought you might be interested. Swim across a sea loch, 200k cycle then run 48k over a mountain. Nuts. Anyway, people from all over the world came to take part, and two Scots, came in first and second. Winning time 12hrs 10mins. A very brave local lad took part and finished in about 18 hours.

This was the start (pic taken at 4.58). Looks like it might become an annual event. Start training now!

A friend of mine was entered (a musician). Not heard how he got on yet but it sounded brutal.

You'd think a muso would have more sense... actually no, come to think of it. He's probably the sort of chap that went to Washington D.C. and came straight back again. (Sorry, musical joke).

So good he went there twice

Sorry if I am repeating myself.
Hi Steve.

Turns out he completed the full course with the proper hill ascent.
Time was 16hr 48min.

The musician joke/question of sense, is very apt.

Wow. just wow. Think I need a couple of years extra training for that!
