10th Anniversary Race - 30 July 2005

Standard Distance (triathlonscotland ranking race)
Standard Distance Relay
NEW Sprint Distance

We'd like to invite old friends and newcomers to this year's celebratory event. As one of the most established races on the triathlonscotland circuit, Gullane Beach Triathlon offers great racing in a fantastic setting. The race is located in a picturesque part of East Lothian about 20 miles east along the coast from Edinburgh. Gullane Bents is a beautiful sandy beach and the water at the beach has reached the highest EEC standards of cleanliness.

If you prefer a tougher challenge the Standard Distance is for you, if you like shorter and sharper then our NEW Sprint Distance race is the one to pick. And if you like teamwork, we offer Relay entry to our Standard Distance Race for teams of 3 each taking a disipline.

All competitors receive -

• a 10th anniversary goody bag
• post-race food
• chance to win spot prizes

Updates:

07/08/2005 Final Standard Results. Despite the cold weather on the day, there are good photographs at IMAC Images and myRace.

31/07/2005 Sprint Results and Provisional Standard Results (require Adobe Acrobat Reader). For the standard, I'm awaiting any interim splits for a few folk who lost timing chips at various points, before calculating full rankings. I have also addressed a few anomalies in the standard results, and I've contacted those concerned - so I need to allow time for appeal.

30/07/2005 It was cold and it rained all day! A big well done to everyone who finished (or who didn't). I'm still waiting to be emailed the splits from the timing guys.
