Hi Team,

Tri Alliance triumphs at St Kilda.  With over 70 athletes competing we had 9 podiums and 20 athletes in the top ten of their respective age groups.

It was great to see the comeback queen Georgie Hagan dawn on the Tri Alliance stealth suit for a great win in the 30 to 34 females.  One of the big results of the day was Michelle Augustynek who placed second at race 2 in the steaming heat and has backed it up in race 3 coming 1st in the ITU Junior Elite and placing 4th overall in the elite women’s.  Emily Rooke holding our Tri Alliance flag high with placing 2nd Elite Female with a steaming t2 and final run for home.

Another Junior Elite athlete who is coming along leaps and bounds it Claudio Abreu who came in 8th overall and placed 2nd in his age group.  How is this time for 750 swim, 20km bike and 5km run. 59 minutes and 45 seconds.

Another fantastic result from miss consistency herself Julie King with a 2nd in the 50 to 54 females and Sue Gould placing 2nd in the 55 to 59 female age group.

I would like to place special mention to Sue Scott who is giving that podium a crack with a well deserved 3rd place and I think a PB effort.

Just missing out on podiums only by seconds I might add was Cam Simons, Susanne Shaw and Collin Douglas Brown.  These guys are hungry and willing to gain those vital podium places in the coming races I am saw.

Play of the Day goes to Gemma Duhig, who had nowhere to go but directly over some poor guys head as she came off her bike and slid along her side. The tough athlete she is got back on and finished the race.  At the time she fell Gemma was in first place.

Well from all reports today’s Gatorade Race was a great success on all accounts and we had many athletes who competed and did very well.

We had a few different races on today in various parts of the country and I have tried my best to trawl them all and list them below.  Congratulations to all finishers.
