| Junior and Senior Team -- Ready for the challenge |
Today (Sunday) ten hardy souls turned up at the Lagoon Leisure Centre in Paisley for the Commonwealth Triathlon Fundraiser. We had six from the senior squad and four juniors. Even Katrina Milne got out her sick bed turned up but unfortunately was not fit enough to take part.
Myself, Vice-Captain Gillian Kyle, Donna Jackson, Carol Whyte, Megan Briggs, Liz Stewart and Juniors Niamh Kinney, Laura Craig, Lauren Barbour and Jan Adams took to the gym with determination (and a bit of trepidation).
In just over 90 minutes we completed 34.3k on the treadmill, 54.7k on the bike and 18.5k on the rowing machines. That is a terrific total of 107.5k.
Past Captain Maureen was there to take some photos (because we were in a public area the photographs are somewhat limited) and Janette McCartney was there to give encouragement to her juniors - Jeanette even managed to fit in a 1k walk - after giving Gillian Kyle some advice on the bikes - see pictures.
We raised a fantastic £1,383 and everyone who made the effort to take part and also to donate are to be commended.
If anyone wishes to donate in recognition of the aches and pains that will follow tomorrow - please send a cheque (payable to RLCGA) to our Treasurer, Tracy Masterton. Alternatively, donation boxes will be available at the first two competitions of the season.
Thanks to everyone who took part and who has donated to our funds. The teams really do appreciate the support we received from our County.
