Run Sessions

Title: Bike week 2010 – cycle to Hailes Castle on Tuesday 22 June
Location: Hailes Castle
Description: To celebrate Bike Week we thought we would repeat the succesful recipe of cycling to Hailes Castle on the evening of Tuesday 22 June. The general idea would be for everyone to cycle from their home town to arrive at Hailes Castle for about 7pm for a drink and a chat and head home before dark.

I will be leaving North Berwick Sports Centre at 6pm

Mark James will leave Dunbar at a similar time.

Becky Young is not able to cycle herself that evening but is happy to co-ordinate a group from Haddington.

We look forward to seeing you there – happy cycling.

Best wishes Saartje Drijver,

North Berwick
Date: 22/06/2010

Just a quick reminder that Haddington triathlon will take place on Sunday 12th September – please put the date in your diary as we desperately need club members to marshal.

Thank you

Record Breaking North Berwick Triathlon

On Sunday 9 May, there was a record breaking entry in the annual North Berwick Triathlon.  The race has a capacity of 150 places, and for the first time, it was fully booked.

Of the 150 entrants, about 30 were teams of two or three who completed the event as a relay.  This meant there were more than 200 people taking part, including a large number of children between the ages of 8 and 16 who were doing the swim for their teams.

There were also a significant number of people taking part who had never done anything like this before.

Race director, Saartje Drijver, said:

“We have always run this as a community event, it is one of very few novice triathlons, with a relay option, and we think this is very important as a way of introducing people to the sport.”

Competitors had to swim 10 lengths of North Berwick swimming pool, cycle 6 miles, and run 2.5 miles.  The cycle and run are completed on public roads, still open to traffic, so the organisers were very grateful to the many marshals who gave up their Sunday morning to ensure the event maintained its high safety record.

Saartje Drijver said:

“We were delighted to have the support of many volunteers, including the Rotary Club of North Berwick, without whom the event could not take place.  We are also very grateful to the local residents who showed great understanding throughout the event.”

Prizes were awarded in many categories.  The overall winner was Mark Williams, who completed the event in 41:16 minutes.  The first lady home was Hannah Waugh, in43:21 minutes.  The first male novice was Tom Hopper, in 43:10, and first novice female was Jane Perkins, in 49:47.  Local entrants were also recognised, with the first local man being David Davidson in 43:47, and the first local lady was Lesley Marshall in 59:48.  The fastest child swimmer was Thomas Brogden, from North Berwick.
