He said: “I’d like to mention what a fantastic job the organisers do with these races and in particular the Peebles event.

“Saturdays ‘come and tri’ and Junior events are the perfect introduction to newcomers and young athletes.

“Sunday’s event is really well run by Live Borders and the Peebles pool staff which is reflected by the number of people it brings into the town over the weekend.”
