Nepean Triathlon

Published 27 October, 2013 Uncategorized Closed

What an absolute cracker of a morning today to race Nepean. The race in its 32nd year is always a sell out and always a quality race.

Really pleased with the performances with Barbara taking out her age group and Julie, Trish and Fred all stepping up to a new distance and learning. I even managed to toe the start line, guessing it must be 13 years since I last raced Nepean and I loved every minute of it (well almost!). see below picture of brilliant sunrise over the lake prior to the triathletes wreaking havoc.

Was also great to be part of the Northern Suburbs Tri Club contingent with about 20 of the club members racing and 3 podium places.

A picture says a thousand words, so here is 4 thousand words, courtesy of the 2013 ITU Female age group Olympic distance triathlon champion. I am still in awe of how hard Parys trains and pushes herself, a true champion in every sense of the word and the nicest most encouraging person you could ever meet.

Not content with racing a Sprint and Olympic distance tri’s on the previous weekend, Barbara decided to make the most of London and enter the London Ultra Sprint and London City Races on Saturday and Sunday respectively.

Please to report that in both races she won her category and being a good 3min margin in the London City Race. That is 4 good race performances in 9 days, I think it must be time for a short rest. Along with Barbara’s great results the family participated too and all achieved very good placings in their respective races.

Sydney put on its absolute best day yesterday for the Blackmores Running Festival conditions relished by all the runners who also gave it their best.

Over the last number of weeks a number of keen runners from Qantas have been attending early training sessions prior to work to prepare for this event. As part of their commitment to the training they have also been raising funds for Act for Kids a charity who works tirelessly to prevent and treat child abuse and neglect.

It was evident that all runners were fully prepared and fit for their event with a display of strong running all the way to the finish. Well done team it has been great to train with you as you prepared for your race.
