THE Peebles Tristars and Come and Try event took place over the weekend in Galashiels.

The event was moved due to the swimming pool in Peebles being unavailable following a fire.

And there was success for Peebles father and son Iain and Reuben Veitch.

Iain won the Peebles Sprint Triathlon in a time of 01.01.11, finishing more than six minutes ahead of second place Euan Mitchell on 01.07.43. Tim Griffin finished third in 01.08.12.

Afterwards Iain said: “ It was great a great weekend. It’s really good that the Peebles race was able to be moved to Gala and still go ahead.

“I got the win on the day and the overall borders tri series title as well which was cool. But much more exciting was that my son Reuben did his first triathlon and managed to come away with the win in the 8s race.

“I’m Super proud of him and also great to see kids of all ages having fun racing.

“I hadn’t been able to race at the Scottish cross triathlon championships the weekend before due to illness so was delighted to get another race in before the season draws to an end.

“Reuben doing well and having fun was the icing on the cake.”
