A reminder that the November triathlon group training session will be on THIS Sunday at Iluka. More details below but first….
Race results
Congratulations to the Club members who raced in the latest Sprint qualifier for next year’s world age group championships yesterday.
The selection race was held in Newcastle with a sell-out field and some crazy fast times. Congrats to Will Blessing who made the podium in his age group and to Sile Crowe and Rod Rose for their hard-earned 4ths.
We’re told the bike course, with its 6 x 2.5km laps, presented plenty of challenges, particularly for a couple of our female competitors.
Elisha Bell suffered a mechanical problem after the first lap while Cath Secombe realised after the race she had done an extra lap! Disappointing for both of them, but we know they’ll come back stronger and even better after the experience.
Don’t forget to let us know if you’ve got a race coming up.
Race results – well done all!
