Sandringham Gatorade Results

After last weeks successful race at Cape Paterson, with nearly 200 competitors, with 65kids, a few of the Barracudas ventured up to Sandringham to contest the Gatorade triathlon, 800 competitors, with conditions favorable and a good swell in the swim, our little fish did well, There were two races, Competing in the Olympic distance, (1.5km swim/40km bike/10km run) was;
Phil Hanley taking out his age in a time of - 2.10.44 - swim-26.44, bike-1.01.30, run- 39.02
Mark Rowe - 2nd in age -13th overall - 1.59.12 - swim-25.15, bike- 59.38, run- 33.02
Thierry Rowland- 9th in age - -2.13.19 -swim- 28.11, bike- 1.02.47, run- 38.31
Deb Rielly - 4th in age - -2.31.24 - swim- 30.57, bike-1.08.35, run-47.17
Lou Derricks - 6th in age -2.49.43 - swim- 35.22, bike-1.20.36, run-48.53
Others that have got the triathlon bug contested the sprint distance, 500m swim, 20km bike and 5km run were;

Rhett McLennan from Leongatha, winning the Clydesdale section in a not so shabby time of 1.14.03, swim--16.09, bike- 32.48, run- 21.07
Jamie Grenville - 1.16.04, swim- 17.54, bike- 33.03, and running exactly the same split as Rhett in 21.07.
Well done to all the guys who got up at 3.30 am to travel down to Sandringham, coming home tired, aching and a little more out of pocket than expected when the parking inspector of the Bayside council decided to book everyone (except sponsors vehichles) a bit harsh considering the race started at 7, the ticket booth doesnt open till 8 and the race takes up to 3hrs to run.


Alex Scott Triathlon Series

Summer Dune2Dune Triathlon

A great summer's day and calm seas resulted in record entries for the Dune2Dune Triathlon. In the end there were 131 adult entries and 65 for the GoTriItKids . The starts were staggered with long course entrants going 20 minutes prior to the short race. Near flat seas meant clear water for the competitors and full view of the Cape marine environmet( If you had to time to look ! ). A low tide meant an exit from the water unimpeded by the rocks which has happened in previous years. With light winds , fast bike times were the order of the day with the guns completing their first lap well under the half hour.
In the short course a young Simon Carey blitzed the field finishing more than 2 minutes ahead of Naish Chapman followed closely by Michael Pratt. In the women's field Shae Thomas was well ahead coming in under the hour. Second was well known local Deb Rielly with Bernadette Spinks in 3rd.
In the long race Brad Campbell was again first for his 3rd consecutive win in the January event. Rohan Ware was 2nd coming in just behind team Cougar Hunters and Anthony Rule was 3rd. In the women's race it was Raelene Quinn in front of Zoe Miller and Samantha Grant. The local derby challenges of the day saw Brian Martin too strong for the younger Jake Laine . Thierry Rolland showed he is in great from coming in ahead of local veteran Phil Hanley - whose time was still outstanding .
Thanks to all volunteers and sponsors ,in particular the SES , Wonthaggi Life Saving Club , Lions Club , Coastal Cruizers , Alex Scott , Crossover Cycles , VisionStream , Retravision.
See you all for the last race on the Victorian triathlon calendar again at Cape Paterson for the Autumn Dune2Dune on the 19th April.

Other Race Results

Club members took on the elements recently on 14th December with Gav and Rck venturing to Canberra for the half ironman and other club members competed in the Gatorade series at Elwood.
Sunday morning saw Canberra welcome us with a howling gale , just to make a tough bike course tougher, and a choppy Lake Burley Griffin. Coming in from the 1.9k swim in just over 39 mins I was a little dissapointed but it was probably OK for the conditions. My mate Gav went past at Coppins crossing which was enough to spur me on in front of him over the next hill - didn't see him again for another 3k ( wouldn't I have like to grab his wheel) . The bike course has some significant bumps and was made even tougher by the conditions. 3:02 for 94k seemed a little slow , but I couldn't have gone harder. Coming into transition all I could see many more towels than bikes and realised most of my group were still riding! Clearly training in South Gippsland has its advantages. The fast runners went past as usual and though I might have been aiming for 5:30 , 5:50 seemed OK for the day. Gav was unlucky enough to pull a calf muscle early in the run but soldiered on for a respectable time.
Back in Melbourne the weather had again made the bay too polluted for a swim and a duathlon was held for the second time in the season. Phil Hanley who has made an extraordinary comeback from injury again won his age group convincingly. Thierry and Mark both put in top 10 finishes as did Lou and Deb. Brian was 12th with a bike time in the top ten. Jake competed in the shorter Brooks event in is first ever multiport event.

Alex Scott Triathlon Series

Race 1 - Inverloch 30th November 2008 500/25/5

Race Results

Perfect conditions greeted competitors for the Anderson Inlet Triathlon , the rain had stopped , a moderate breeze to keep things honest and a nearly slack tide - so this year you had to swim!The fickle tides meant a last minute change to the swim course , to one we will probably use again. Stuart Walpole emerged from the water with a handy lead but was soon chased down on the bike Luke Thomas and Latrobe Valley's Paul Taylor. Just over 30 seconds separated the pair after the bike .Third out of T2 was local legend Phil Hanley with the team combination of Luke Plant and Eamon Feely back in 4th. At the finish Luke Thomas was able to hold off a fast finishing Paul Taylor ; Paul recording the fastest run split of the day with Stuart Walpole 3rd. Plant&Feely were 4th overall and 1st team , Tim Robinson in 5th and Phil Hanley in 6th. A little way back in the field the closest age group was being fought out in the 45-49s with Brian Martin's strong bike leg being enough to hold off Rick Whitehouse by a mere 13 seconds. Samantha Grant took out the Women's race with Zoe Miller 2nd and Lauren Isles 3rd. In the teams Plant & felly were well ahead of Wells Fargo and Leather Jackets .
Bass Coast Barracudas would like to thank major sponsors Alex Scott , Vision Stream and Crossover Cycles and the Esplanade Hotel and also Inverloch Surf Life Saving Club (sorry for forgetting at presentation) , SES , Parks Victoria, Lions Club , Wonthaggi Little Athletics , Coastal Crewzers the Cape Crew , the Beachbox , Foowworks ,and all other volunteers and sponsors , will post a full list soon.

Somers Duathlon

The Barracuda crew headed over to Somers for race 3 of the Duathlon series.This was a slightly longer race over 5.5/22/2.8 .Phil again won his age group in scintillating time. Rick and Gavin were 5th and 7th in their age group.The one thing I hate about triathlon results is the inclusion of transitions in the bike time , and web results say you averaged 28 when you know it was like 33.(Have to somehow justify the recent purchase)
