Loves a Race
Another busy weekend of racing backing up off last weekend.
: Friday Night Crits :
Congrats to Alex Loughrey who picked up a cheeky D grade win in the Sutho Crits. I highly recommend getting up there for a race to mix your training up.
: Mudgee Park Run :
James Bonamy received a large incentive fee to race at the Mudgee Park Run on the weekend and justified his fee with a big win in 20:04 only narrowly missing out on the bonus pool if he went sub 20.
: Little Husky :
Saturday was the run festival and Sunday was the tri’s and we had athletes in each event. Nathan Leonard and Ryan Beattie both did the Half Marathon with Nathan going 1:41 and Ryan going 1:27. Both great runs.
Sunday was podium time. In the the Standard tri we had Jonah Newton coming first in his age in 2:01. Not bad on a bike that was stuck in one gear ! Amanda Behrendt raced really well for second in her age in the Aquabike in 1:45. Great work team !
: Noosa :
Harry Wiles started the day off well in the elites with a 1:52 racing amongst some very well credentialed short course athletes including a few Olympians.
In Australia’s largest age group triathlon of nearly 5,000 competitors we threw our hat in the ring with 7 athletes. Jarrod Crump raced in the legends category and picked up a 3rd place for his 2:13. Russ Brinckley is also a Noosa legend and went 3:00. Paul Humphreys continues his comeback from injury and had further improvements for his 2:34. Scottie Allison raced strong all day as he always does and came up with a 2:26. Sammy Taylor had a great race considering she is training for an Ultra run and finished with a time of 2:43. Josh Revell trained the house down for this one. At times unable to lift his arms from all the swim km he did. 2:37 for Joshie. Andy Walker moved to Noosa only 10 days before race day and celebrated with a very nice race in a time of 2:25
