Strathclyde Duathlon

Good first run, slow transition, dropped on bike, OK last run. And a lovely weekend with family in Glasgow. We travelled up to Strathclyde Country Park on Saturday for a course recce ahead of the race on Sunday. Unfortunately the swim was cancelled due to poor water quality which was a shame as the lake looked lovely, if a wee bit chilly. The bike course was great-I like a few hills- and there’s not much to say about the run course, except sadly it’s as flat as a pancake. Quite a few family members were also competing at the weekend-my Aunty in the Glasgow Half Marathon (started by my cousin) and two more cousins in the Strathclyde triathlon (now duathlon). Following our respective races, we all met up in Glasgow for a delicious BBQ (trying to pretend it’s still summer-even in Scotland). Looking forward to the next family gathering already…
