With little prospect of a chance to compete in Scotland this year an informal triathlon was set up by Adrian Young in September.  Adrian, Fraser Kean, Estee Coetzee, Jake Edward, David Auchie tackled the course with some doing a standard (1500m swim, 40km bike and a 10km run) and others doing a 70.3 (1900m swim, 90km bike and a 21.1km run) with both distances using first the pond, then a bike route from the pond taking in the area around Dundonald, Drybridge and Marine Drive before concluding with a run route that went from the pond down through Shewalton and returning along the other side of the A78 to the pond.  Conditions were testing with a strong wind throughout the day but with little to no chance of competitions taking place this year all involved were glad of the opportunity to take part in an event of any kind.
