Long Course - Sunday
What started out as a calm and warm day finished up as very hot conditions for our 9 competitors who took on the gruelling long course on Sunday.
Greg Burford was the fastest from our club coming in 11th in his age group (M4044) and compete the course with an injured foot in an outstanding time of 4 hrs 28 mins and 4secs followed closely behind by Greg Douglass who was our only podium winner on the day and was able to beat some very fast athletes to come in 3rd in his age group (M5054) with 4hrs 32 mins and 2 secs.
In only his second long event Andrew Heath came in next after some fine swim coaching to secure a great time of 4hrs 47 mins and 12 secs and 32nd in his age group (M4044). Michael Mahboub constantly shaves off more time each race and even though he hasn't been near his bike for a while he still had an impressive race and great swim and run. 60th (M3034)
4hrs 50mins and 53sec.
Our versatile John Miller has been training the house down and it showed with a 5th age position (M5559) and great time of 5hrs flat and 26secs. Jen Hoffman has made incredible progress over the last few years to be relatively new to the sport and take over 6 mins off her last year time and come in 8th (F4044) 5hrs 4mins and 32secs.
Chris Cameron with only months before turning 60 and not competing in long events for a while still produced 3 good legs to come in the top 10 (9th) (M5559) 5hrs14mins and 5 secs. In the same age group Graeme Kelly felt flat on the bike and was disappointed but to come in 13th with 5hrs27 mins and 55 secs.
