"Kev had arranged to meet me at the end of the Grey Corries and I have never felt happier to see a torch light shining through the mist. Remarkably, Helen travelled solo from the start to the middle of the Grey Corries, where she was joined by Kevin Woods, who accompanied her from there to the finish. She did however, experience strong winds on Aonach Mor and along the Carn Mor Dearg arête, which slowed progress. Helen was also treated to clear, starry skies over the Mamores and an inspiring sunrise on the Devil's Ridge.
This round was complete with bona fide 'winter' conditions underfoot 'firm snow, a good covering over boulder fields and areas of wind scouring on ridges'. She completed the round in an anticlockwise direction, starting with Mullach nan Coirean in the Mamores and finishing with Ben Nevis. Though it was not a huge focus in his return, Phelps did swim it to a silver medal at the 2014 Pan Pac Championships.Helen set out from Glen Nevis Youth Hostel at 03:25 on the 21st and arrived back there at 02:55 on the 22nd. “Dan is recovering from an injury so our primary focus will be helping him get back into some shape and then take it from there,” Bowman said of his newest charge.īowman and NBAC is the home of one of the greatest 200 IM’ers ever, Michael Phelps. FORMER Bradbury Public School pupil, swimmer Daniel Tranter finished eighth in his first event, the men's 400-metres individual medley heat at the Olympic Games last week. Initially, the focus will be bringing Tranter back from injury. Since, that 400 IM has stayed off of his schedule, and focused on other 200 meter races, including most heavily the 200 fly. In 2014, he broke through with a gold medal in the 200 IM and a new Commonwealth Games Record in 1:57.66. He was 13th in the 200 IM in semi-finals in London, and improved to 6th at Worlds in 2013 after dropping the 400 IM from his schedule. Tranter, who is 22 years old, was on the Australian teams for the 2012 Olympics, 2013 World Championships, and 2014 Commonwealth Games, entrenching himself as a member of the Australian National Team. Very happy to be given the opportunity to train with the worlds best in the lead up to the 2016 Rio Olympics! #NBAC Tranter’s announcement via Twitter below indicates that his plan is to stay in Baltimore until Rio. Australian swim coach-turned-horse-trainer Brian Sutton has been working with Tranter, and since Sutton “is going to be spending more time with the horses” asked if Tranter could come to Baltimore to train. Australian swimmer and National Record holder Daniel Tranter is heading to the United States to join the North Baltimore Aquatic Club and head coach Bob Bowman, and in this case, horses and stables have had a heavy hand in the decision.Īccording to Bowman, the connection came about in an interesting way. Well, that headline is only kind of a bad pun. The round was completed in 23 hours 30 minutes by Scottish winter climber Helen Rennard, known for a number of notable first ascents in recent years (shes also a gear.
