CONGRATULATIONS

The latest escapades of Perth Tri's very own 'fit family' are amongst the most recent Race Reports.  Success and a win as a relay team at Alford's super sprint to a noteable result at Aberfeldy's middle distance tri there were a few more proud family moments for Gary, Roddy and Emily.  A strong team as they proudly brought home a cash win - sufficient for a fish supper on the way back to Perth and a few jelly babies to share.

 

Paul Meikle set the scene in London this month as he competed in The London Sprint Triathlon and experienced his first taste in more ways than one) of the river Thames!!  At the same time her raised funds for Macmillan Cancer Care and if you would like to donate - his fundraising page is still open at

WHAT A QUICK SEASON 

Anyone else out there think the season is disappearing rapidly?  It's SEPTEMBER already and as we approach the last few events of the year things are heating up a bit for the club.  The word 'Huntly' will undoubtedly bring out a hot flush amongst many of Perth Tri's finest with so many attempting their first ever standard triathlon - good luck to everyone.

 

Haddington sprint is first on 12 September, a popular but ever changing course, with this years run measuring 7k.

 

Two weeks later, Huntly will encounter a sea of blue and gold with the majority of Perth Tri Club descending on the town. There will be a few personal goals and a few personal competitions going on that day as well as a good few nerves but what a fantastic way for many to finish the season.  Details of the Huntly routes can be found by clicking on the logo below

 

 

At the same time on the same day Mid Argyl will see Perth Tri colours in their line up, albeit only Dek and Cathy who escaped the magnetic pull of Huntly.

 

So........ watch this space over the next few weeks for exciting, emotional  race reports and new photos of Perth Tri colours in action.
