Lorna brings the house down in Fife

Top performer is just behind winner in triathlon

Sunday saw a host of events for Team Ayrodynamic athletes.

Kilmarnock’s Lorna Todd, on top form as she prepares for the European Sprint Triathlon Championships in Glasgow 2018 in Augus representing Great Britain Age-group team, in August, brought home the bling placing second female overall at Lochore Meadows Sprint Triathlon in Fife.

Lorna finished in 1.11 in the sprint distance race, less than one minute behind the overall winner.

Scott Russell took part in the standard distance race crossing the line in 2.34 after a blistering 10km Run.

Marc Auchie, of Kilmarnock, traveled to Staffordshire to take part in Ironman 70.3.

After a delayed start due to fog, Marc completed the challenging 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run in four hours, 48 minutes placing him a fantastic seventh in his age group.

The fog also caused early morning problems in Leeds at the AJ Bell World Triathlon Races taking place in Roundhay Park and Leeds City Centre.

Poor visibility resulted in a shortened swim course for the male athletes who were off first.

Eddie Gilmartin had his swim cut to 750m for safety reasons and finished in 2:25.

The fog cleared enough for the female athletes to revert back to the planned 1500m swim and Lyndsey Blair crossed the finish line in 2:41 and 15th in her age group in the British Championships race.

Five athletes took part in varying swim distances at the Great North Swim in a toasty Lake Windermere.

Stewart Bailey took on the longest at 10km, finishing 1st in his age category and in the top six overall in 2.31.

Fiona O’Dowd and Tracey Middleton took on the 5km swim completing it in 1.26 and 1.28 respectively. Katrina Livingstone swam in the 2 mile wave, finishing in 1.23 and young Abigail Middleton swam in the 1 mile wave in 28 mins.
