A wee tri

There are 2 Triathlons on at Esporta Hamilton this Sunday.

There are approx 35 people taking part and Shona has said the more the merrier , not everyone is a member a few guys from Fusion etc will be taking part.

There is a Super Sprint of 400m pool swim, 12k cycle on the hiller parts of Strathclyde Park (to the roundabout near M&D's and back twice), then a 3k run on the flat Palace grounds run circuit (2 laps of the large loop). The Sprint is the same course just a bit longer. Both are Good courses with testing cycles and an easer run at the end.

If anyone is interested then it is registration at 8am with the Super Sprint starting at 8:30. The cost is £15 per person.

Can you call me or email me if you are interested. We've to submit names before hand.
I'm doing Aberfeldy so I'll not be there.

Hi
where is esporta - is it next to the golf course -and how do you get from there to the park ? not along the main road ? will the speed bumps be up or in situ ? will the road be closed ?
thats a few queries ! oh and are the people taking part very fast ?

yes, it's down at the Palace grounds or across the road from asda.
I don't think they'll remove the speed bumps in the park
It's an easy run from esporta to strathy about 1/2 min under the M74 - quite park path.
I don't know who's taking part but i would say it'll be your usual mixed race and some gym folk!!

Hi Gareth I will be there on Sunday and will be taking part in the Sprint.

The Bike is 19k for the Sprint & 12k for the novice and no they don't take away the speed bumps but you can go left or right of them. Right is safer although that is the middle of the road.

The sprint run is an extra lap so about 1.5k longer than the novice run.

Most people are a good standard of fitness. Shona at Esporta is keen to promote Triathlon and a lot of people take part but they are not in a club.
