Club Championship 2010

 

Saturday 29^th January held host to the social night of the year as GRC Tri complete with friends and family descended on the Fairway in Bathgate to celebrate the past years racing. On a well attended night the guests were treated to ‘professional’ dance lessons (no names mentioned), the chance to win a splendid bottle of the finest Famous Grouse, a finger licking good buffet and the raffle to end all raffles. Oh, and not to mention the cheap bar prices! Possibly the highlight of the night though was the chance to sit back and take in the words of the troublesome two; Colin and Rab, as they ran through the seasons awards and prizes achieved by the various club Members. In no particular order these were:

 

Duathlon:    1^st Female: N/A                    1^st Male: Andy

                     2^nd Female: N/A                   2^nd Male: Richard

                     3^rd Female: N/A                    3^rd Male: Darren

           

Sprint:         1^st Female: Heather              1^st Male: Andy

                     2^nd Female: Mandy                2^nd Male: Richard

                     3^rd Female: Africa                  3^rd Male: Colin

 

Standard:   1^st Female: Mandy                1^st Male: Richard

                    2^nd Female: Africa                  2^nd Male: Andy

                    3^rd Female: Ash                       3^rd Male: Colin

 

Aberfeldy:     Heather, Mandy, Andy and Richard

 

Perofrmance of the year: James (for East Fife Tri)

 

However, the most eagerly anticipated award of the night was undoubtedly the Hasselshoff, awarded to the individual guilty of making the most mistakes/ errors/ c**k-ups etc. Last year’s challenger Acky was so determined not to retain his title that he took a year off racing… it really is that serious. For a variety of incidents (including, but not limited to, overeating massive filled rolls before races, entering Novice events despite being a seasoned Pro, entering Standard sprint times for a Sprint event) went to the one and only Pirate Bob!

 

Hasselhoff:                  Robert

 

Coach Carol was also presented with the opportunity to enter any races she wishes to compete in as a token of appreciation for her efforts in moulding us into something that almost resembles a group of athletes. Her initial request of the South African Tri shall be discussed in detail at a later date!

 

GRC Tri would like to thank all in attendance who ultimately mad the night a success, while also offer an extended thanks to the organising committee. Training now continues in earnest as the races begin soon to determine who shall be claiming the accolades this time round next year.
