Hervey Bay 100 (QLD) (2/80/18) Long Course – Annie Alford was 2nd in the 35-39 and Annie’s first Long Course event for some time. A solid result on not much racing as she builds into 2020 preparing for another Ironman. Sam Cooke and Jeanette Grigoris – did the swim / bike each in teams with a short run off to cut it short as both are focusing on the Busso 70.3 this coming weekend. Kingscliff (NSW) Aqua Bike – 1.5/40 - Mark Preston was 3rd overall to a couple of young guns Looking forward to IMWA and Busso 70.3 which are both on this coming weekend with 3 MSC athletes lining up in the IM and 4 the 70.3. Then onto 70.3 Taupo in NZ the following weekend. Have a great week...
Perfect morning for a ride
Perfect morning for a ride. Last TT for 2019 and a good showing for it. Mark Preston was fastest today and some good progression for some over the last 3 weeks. December coaching schedule was emailed to members through the week. Club Xmas fun event and party coming up on Sunday 15th. 😎...
A big weekend of racing for MSC athletes
Quite a big weekend of racing for MSC athletes just passed as we hit December In Canberra at the Jackie Fairweather memorial Sprint Tri Don McArthur lifted to a great day and was 2nd in 55-59 in 1.12. A draft legal ride as part of this format and qualifying points for TWC ITU Over in the west and IM and 70.3 WA we had 3 doing the full distance and 4 at the half IM. Good conditions but a little on the warmer side for that time of year where temps hit 30+. Doing his first IM we had Nigel Forster in 49-49 and home in 11.32 and very happy to get it done and looking forward to going around again down the track....
