Triathlon - Glenrothes 4 January 2003
PC Tetrathlon in Scotland

Five members braved the icy conditions and made the trip to Glenrothes for the annual Christmas Triathlon. This proved worthwhile as everyone came away with a place in at least one event.

Heather Ridland and Ashley Gaffney took part in the Girls Junior class. Ashley had an outstanding run in the freezing conditions and finished 2nd out of 20 with Heather just a few yards behind in 3rd. Heather was also placed in the shooting and swimming and finished 2nd overall.

Kirsty Wrightson, Clare Geddes and Claire Gaffney competed in the Mini Girls class. Claire Gaffney was our start in the shooting finishing 4th out of 13. Clare Geddes and Kirsty ran well to finish 4th and 6th and Kirsty was 5th in the swimming phase. Overall Kirsty was our best placed in 6th position.

Thanks to all who supported the winter training sessions and especially to those who made the long trip to Glenrothes. Our overall performance was a big improvement on the Area last summer and I'm sure all would agree it was also great fun and well worth the effort.

The next date I have is 15 March in Arbroath. We will have further training in February/March once I find out about the dates for the other Triathlons/Hunter Trials.
