Hello Ballarat tri club community! This is November edition of the monthly recap!!
November’s been jam packed with races as the tri season has fully kicked off.
To start off with Darcy Williams has been tearing up the track racing both Milers round 1 and Aths Vic 5km championships. Darcy ran a lightning 8:37 for 3k and followed it up the next week with a 14:37 for 5k. I also competed in milers and missed the sub 9min mark but happy to run 9:04.
On the 22nd of November members Bailey and Chase Tuddenham both competed in the Laguna Phuket triathlon all the way in Thailand. Chase came 5th in the sprint race and Bailey came 5th in the Pro field.
The following day (23rd) was the first race of the 2xu triathlon series. With lots of rain overnight stirring up the water quality the swim was replaced with a sharp beach run. Then, with very miserable weather conditions the race still took place. Darcy took the win in the Elite Male field, and Lesley West came second in the women’s field. Matthew Facey came 20thin his age group and Louise Wood came 3rd in her category as well. I also competed in my first junior elite race. Well done to all who competed!
On the following weekend we saw Jude Channon and Olivia Marr compete in the state aquathon championships in Shepparton. Jude came 2nd in her age group and Olivia came 5th! Great work! Then Jonas Martin ran the 2xu wellness run half marathon who came 13th in his age group and ran a speedy time of 1:20!
Other races include the Torquay tri; despite very cold water and conditions, Woody came 4th in his AG, Louise 3rd, and Molly and Chase came 2nd in their respective categories! And I won my AG as well. Also well done to everyone who competed in the Noosa tri! Shoutout to Baliey T who came 16th overall, Patrick Hawks who came 6th in the open category and Chase T for coming 9th in his AG. Then Olivia Marr did the 70.3 in 6:05. Awesome job!
Shout-out to everyone who competes. We love hearing about all our members racing, so if anyone has any races just contact me or the president (mum) as we would love to include all results for any races in these recaps.
Looking forward to more racing coming in December! Go BTC
