39 nations were represented in this years challenge with the male winner being Lasse Finstad of Norway completing the course in 11 hours and 42 minutes. The female winner was Bonnie Van Wilgenburg completing in 13 hours and 13 minutes, knocking 45 minutes off the course record.
It’s not just Scotland that hold this intense challenge, Celtman is part of the allXtri family which consists of Norseman Xtreme Triathlon and the Swissman Xtreme Triathlon.
We saw several of the competitors pass the house on the cycle part of the route. It was a great day for it, bright & dry. They must be loopy. Good day to be a spectator!!!!
Anyone fancy giving it a go next year???????
