Celtman – Hall of Fame

by | posted in: Action Photography | 0

This page is dedicated to those who have won Celtman or have recorded a fastest time on an individual component of the Celtman Extreme Triathlon.  I have tried to be as accurate as possible but if you believe there is an error then please get in touch and I will correct the page.  I also wish to acknowledge that conditions play a huge part in such an event and accept that the course has subtly changed each year, however the details below provide an indication of who achieved what and when within the Celtman competition.

Fastest Times

Mens

Johan Hasselmark 11 hours 41 minutes 30 seconds when winning in 2014
Fastest overall time and course record holder (men) – Johan Hasselmark 11:41:30 [2014]

Fastest overall time and course record holder (Women) – Susanne Buckenlei 13:55:33 [2012]

In 2013 Craig Dring completed the course in 12:23:49 but this was on the low route as Beinn Eighe was closed for safety reasons after the first ten competitors had passed transit T2a

Fastest Swim

Fastest swim - Johan Nykvist [2012 Celtman]
Fastest swim – Bobby Oag – 00:39:54[2012 Celtman – 10th in 2012]
Fastest Swim (Women) - Kathrin Muller
Fastest Swim (Women) – Kathrin Muller – 49:56 [ 2013 Celtman]  Her title came under pressure from 2015 Celtman Women’s winner Siobhan Prise who recorded the second fastest women’s swim time of 50:03
 

Bobby Oag is the only Celtman to have broken 40 minutes for the swim.  16 further Celtmen have broken 50 minutes, 14 in 2012 and only 2 in 2013.  This gives some idea in the different conditions.  2013 women’s winner, Katherin Muller, is the only women to have broken 50 minutes.

Fastest Cycle - Dirk Zangen - 5:54:59 set in 2015 on his way to overall victory.

Special Celtman

Anyone who completes Celtman has my admiration but when I look the through the results there are a couple who stand out.

Sean Mc
Sean McFarlane – 2nd in the inaugural Celtman of 2012 followed by 8th (2013), 14th (2014) and 5th (2015) – that is some achievement and one of only three (I think) to have completed all four Celtman races.

 

Stuart Macleod - 3rd 2013, 4th 2012
Stuart Macleod finished in the top ten of the three Celtman he competed in- 3rd 2014, 3rd 2013, 4th 2012
