HUSKY I
Congratulations to everyone who competed at Husky I last weekend! It was a brilliant effort. Tri-newbies finishing their first race, medal winners, team efforts – we had it all.
A big slap on the back to Mandy Meredith, Tim O’Shea, Ken Price, Nicole Rattenbury and Bill Stahlhut 
who all went home with gold medals for winning their age groups. Cathy Head and Jeremy Sutton also took home shiny gold souveneirs for Team Pimped which won the mixed teams category in the sprint. Silver medal winners included Hugh Harrison, Mitchell Brown, Trent Goodman, Kylie Stewart, Ashley Hale, and The A Team (Annette Sampson and Angela Bond) while Marcus Vowels, Tim O’Connell and Renae Watkins (pictured) 
won bronze.
Special mentions go to:
* Kathy Lewis who achieved her goal of doing a triathlon before she turned 50. Go Kathy! Imagine how fast you’ll be at 60.
* Mitchell Brown (pictured)
and Hugh Harrison who placed 4th and 9th overall in the Sprint. Two top 10 finishers is an awesome achievement.
* Mandy Meredith who ignored husband Ken’s advice not to run in the Enticer to win the women’s 50-59 age group.
* Nicole Rattenbury and Kylie Stewart 
(pictured) for taking out 1 and 2 in the women’s 40-44 Sprint age group. Pity we didn’t have a third competitor to make it a clean sweep.
*Jeremy Sutton for backing up after his Sprint team effort to complete the Olympic distance – even if he WAS a bit slow!
* Katie Winkworth – our sole solo Olympic distance representative who might have been pushed into 4th place in her age group, but still managed to be the 7th female over the line.
* And all those club members who didn’t compete but came along to offer support and encouragement.

ATHLETE NEWS
CSSA Tri.Congrulations too to Hugh Harrison for his efforts last month at the Catholic Secondary Schools Association triathlon. First in both the individual and team categories!
Tele Turtles. For those who missed it, Ashley Hale organised a great story on the Turtles in the Sunday Telegraph last month. The article is now locked behind a News Ltd paywall but if you subscribe you should be able to view it at http://dailytel.newspaperdirect.com/epaper/viewer.aspx – just search for Jodie Hale (pictured)
or Cathy Head.
Bird man.
What is it about Dave Edwards and animals? After being taken out by a small white dog while riding criterium last year, Dave reports he had another close wildlife encounter at the first session this year. This time it was a large rosella that flew straight into him. Fortunately no damage done.
Fitz’s Challenge.
They call it Australia’s toughest cycle challenge, so of course it’s one for Tibor Slezak! While many of us were racing at Husky last weekend, Tibor spent a gruelling (almost) seven hours riding the mountains around Canberra.
“Another tough day in the office,” he reports. “The wind picked up and was in your face blowing 25-35kph between 95km and 145km into the ride. The last 20 km consisted of 15km crosswind and tailwind for the last 5km.
“Fitz’s Challenge does not get easier the more times you ride it. A lot of riders were doing it tough – I saw a few walking their bikes up some of the hills.”
Upcoming races. Good luck to those Club members making the trek inland to Wagga later this month for the next race in the Elite Energy series. Also to Jay and Paula Luke who are racing at Port Macquarie this weekend and anyone else who has a race coming up. Be sure to notify asampson@smh.com.au when you’ve got a race coming up – it makes it much easier to keep track of everyone’s results. The next local race is at Callala Beach on December 11.
