On Saturday afternoon a bumper crop of EUTriathletes (22!) congregated at the sports centre to pack up the bikes and head off for St Andrews. The trip started very dramatically when poor Louisa was hit by a van. Leaving her with a broken finger and pretty shaken! After dropping her off at A+E and saying our sad goodbyes we headed off one member short and feeling deflated.  On arrival the St Andrews team was ready and waiting in Forgans for our joint team meal. We  sat at mixed tables, making new friends and swapping social and training ideas. The meal was delicious and filling (for most of u ..read more

With a medium minibus all to ourselves (although this sounds glamorous it only had three seats), we three EUTriathletes set off on Saturday to do the unthinkable: a one-sport-only race/look for a snake! Accommodation in Aviemore was provided by one of our own, thank you very much for having us Shona and family! Catering was also provided by Shona, with a perfect pre race feast laid on, thank you again. We usually describe how the day dawned in race reports, but unfortunately the brutally early start had us up before sunrise. In the cover of darkness, we crept around the house, stealing race e ..read more

A beautiful sunrise dawned on Sunday 21st April, the day of the Scottish Student Championship final race. Having already completed the Aquathlon and Triathlon, only the Duathlon remained in the series. Which Scottish University would hold the title of SSS champions? To defend our title we needed to focus our minds, plan out the race tactics and bring at least 3 male and 3 female members. A couple of last minute drop outs meant we had three male athletes and five female athletes racing in the Student Championship under the EUTri colours. The journey to Stirling University campus was smooth and ..read more

  Slowly, slowly the date crept nearer. Excitement was building in the stomachs of the 4 EUTriathletes chosen (/randomly selected) to represent the club this year. The race everyone talks about but few want to actually take part, Red Bull Neptune Steps. The gruelling course consists of 400m of swimming and 7 challenging obstacles (see course map for more details). On arrival in Maryhill Locks Glasgow the party was in full swing! A portable DJ booth on top of a car blasted out the tunes. Spectators ran the length of the course cheering on racers in each heat, photographing them at their wors ..read more

  8 EUTriathletes and 3 plus ones headed south towards Oscar’s home territory for the weekend – Glentress was waiting with 10km, 21km and 42km routes for us to conquer.

Hello all and welcome to our BUCS Duathlon weekend review. We brought a fierce squad of 16 tanks. A huge shoutout to Rian Cook representing the farmers, with legs of sculpted steel he is truly one of the greatest farming inspirations of this generation. DJ/ FARMER COOKThe bus journey was somewhat quiet on the way down. With 75% of the bus sleeping, the plans to get the hype up were swiftly defeated. But as soon as we got hold of the speakers (thanks Miriam) DJ cook brought tunes for grand entry into Swindon #cityofculture. Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised by the free breakfast offer ..read more
