Celtman – Third Edition

Ten to three in the morning and competitors are beginning to set their bikes up at T1 ready for the third running of Celtman.

It is a ‘simple’ test of extreme physical and mental endurance that consists of :

Swim (Loch Shieldaig)

Fastest swim - Johan Nykvist [2012 Celtman]

Fastest Run – Johan Hasselmark 4:41:19 [2013 Celtman – 2nd in 2013]
Conditions seem a little better than 2014 but a very long and tough day for all the competitors  who hopefully will enjoy some of Scotland’s finest scenery.  Everyone who completes Celtman is a winner it is just that someone finishes first.

2013 - Graeme Stewart - 12:16:15

Good luck today to all Celtman 2014 competitors and support crew.  I hope to see you on the route throughout the day.  Images should be available on line from Monday.

In the words of Robin WIlliams - Oh my God it's early!)
Let battle commence.
