It gives me great pleasure to announce Alasdair Blain as the winner of the 2014 TBH Cup 
The TBH Cup is a series of eight races, with competitors best six results counting towards their final score.
Alasdair competed in seven of the eight events and rock-solid steady performances in all his races was enough to edge him ahead of 2nd placed athlete, Phil Scott.
Michael Nemeth completed the Top 3 finishers.
Of the 39 members who participated in the series, Michael was the only one to compete in all eight events.

Well Done Alistair!! You are living up to your nickname of Mr Consistency
Well done champ! Getting fitter and faster, I’m expecting big things next year
Well done Alasdair. Thoroughly deserved win and congratulations to Phil too who kept me firmly in 3rd place. Cheers for not running the last race Edwin, you would have stolen it
Thanks folks, it was a good battle through the year. I was fortunate with a combination of a good starting handicap, others deep in spring marathon training for the early races, and lots of very good contenders not doing enough events!
Well done Alasdair, a thoroughly deserved victory! ☺
Great effort from Michael too in being the only 1 to complete all 8 races in the series! I must admit that I felt nervous on Sunday morning about the very real possibility of getting pushed into 3rd place!
