Stirling Triathlon Club - News & Information

A happy bunch for the first Tuesday runs of the year!
Nice to see regulars, some old faces making a return and new faces coming along for the first time too 😁

This isn't a team building exercise but it is TEAMWORK

Fiona didn't want to get her new trainers wet so Cara stepped in and provided a piggyback across the water ably assisted by Laura

And then a minute later Paula discovered a bridge ...and a few minutes later Fiona stood in a cowpat (which she thought was a stone) so her shoes got christened another way 🤣

You couldn't make it up 😆

Fun adventures on our Tuesday night run. Sometimes it's not about distance or speed but just getting out into nature with like minded people and having lots and lots of laughs 😁

Thursday night intervals is where the fun's at !! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Here's a round of photos from sessions over the last few months.

If you want to improve your running and fitness, intervals is the session for you - we run in the University of Stirling grounds (or close by) and the sessions typically run in 6 week blocks.

The sessions are open to all abilities, we run in laps so no-one is 'at the back' , they are included in your Stirling Tri Club membership fee, and you will feel much better for them.

A new block starts this week (5th June) so members, come along and join in the fun 🤸‍♀️🏃‍♀️🤸‍♀️🏃‍♀️🤸‍♀️

It's the first full week of January and we're back in the swing of things - kind of!

This cold spell may have scuppered a couple of runs due to icy surfaces but it doesn't stop us from swimming.

Welcome back to our Wednesday night swimmers. Hands up who thought the water felt like treacle tonight 🙋‍♂️

Wishing all our members and followers a very merry restful Christmas.

A day to put your feet up, spend time with friends and family, and congratulate yourself on all you have achieved this year.

Have a fabulous day, eat loads (don't worry about the calories - plenty of time to burn them off in the following days!), and we'll see you for some more
🏊‍♂️ 🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️soon!

All smiles for the last Tuesday Runs and Thursday Intervals of 2024!

Great work and cameraderie from everyone over the year and fantastic to see new faces join in the fun.

Go steady on the Christmas chocolates and drinks and we'll be back on 7th January for the start of the group runs again.🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Here's our training sessions for the next few weeks.

A great season for our club member Rory Strachan who is the 2024 Scottish National Middle AND Standard Distance Champion, not just in his age category but he is the Overall Scottish Champion at both distances.

Amazing performances and he makes it look so easy, proving that dedication and training pays off, and the finish smiles say it all.

Well done !

We had over 20 club members take part in this year's Aberfeldy Middle Distance Triathlon whether as part of a relay team or as a solo competitor.

Team spirit was high and the support amazing. It was great to have such a team buzz during the weekend. A fabulous event and always a favourite in the club calendar.
