	Noosa Triathlon 2006 Report Noosa Race Photo's
	Well another fantastic Noosa experience come and gone and we have had a bit of a mixed bag, but overall some fantastic results. The day started out very overcast conditions – but as the race got underway it became very warm in the sun and the heat played a factor. It wasn’t the searing heat of past years, but it was hot none the less.

	2006 Victorian Sprint Distance Triathlon Championships Hi Team, Today was the running of the 2006 Victorian Sprint Distance Triathlon Championships held at Elwood and we had some more sensational results today. In what proved to be a sign of much bigger things to come little Lynne Duthie stunned the entire women’s elite field to not only catch them but run away with the women’s victory by over a minute from Hungarian competitor and ITU ranked Tracey Looze and perennial bridesmaid Vanessa Hentchel. It was certainly something that I was privileged to watch today as was all her team mates – well done Lynne! More........

	Gatorade/Brooks Melbourne Race One 0506 Photo's Race Report Well in one of the biggest openings to a domestic season I have ever been involved in – I must say what an effort by all involved at Tri Alliance over the course of the weekend. It started on Saturday in absolutely fine weather with the first timer’s clinic that Tri Alliance run for free attracting over 100 people. Madness. It was fantastic to see so many new comers to the sport but also a few from last year who might have just wanted to freshen up their skills and knowledge. The clinic and set up was first class as was the usual event put on by the Race organizers – Supersprint.

Tri Alliance Win's Triathlon Australia Coaching Tender

Triathlon Australia last month placed out a tender to all the coaches Australia wide. The tender's initiative is to help the Australian world champion age group teams (long course, Olympic, and duathlon) with the support of a coaching network. As a result Tri Alliance won the tender for the Olympic distance and duathlon teams.

Tri Alliance would like to take this opportunity to thank you for choosing our services to help prepare the Australian teams for both Duathlon and Olympic Distance Events. We look forwards to working with all of you to achieve a common goal.

We also would like to encourage as much input from all parties so we can ensure a successful program to help team Australia’s performance over the next 6 months. With this in mind our attitude is to work with both athletes and their coaches as one so that we as an Australian team can achieve Triathlon greatness.

Australian All Schools Championships 2005.

The race was held at The Olympic Rowing Course at Penrith about an hour outside Sydney provided the perfect backdrop for arguably Tri-alliance’s greatest individual effort this year. Perfect weather and a great course also was a big highlight. With the best 25 under 19 athletes selected from each state in Australia totaling 25 in the field, including 3 Australian Junior Team Members, it was fair to say Lynne was up against it and would need to race very well.

Belinda Harrison has become Tri-alliance’s first female athlete to qualify for the Hawaiian Ironman

Just letting you all know that my race report for our New Zealand Ironman trip will be taking a few days longer than expected as we ended up having a few more DELAYS than usual.

Of course it would be remiss of me not mention quickly that our own Belinda Harrison has become Tri-alliance’s first female athlete to qualify for the Hawaiian Ironman Triathlon World Championships later this year by finishing 2nd in the 25 – 29 age group and 13th place overall out of the entire female field. Just a great effort from one of the hardest working athletes around.

Look out for Belinda this week in the Geelong Advertiser.

And stay tuned for the trip report.

Victorian Sprint Distance Championships and The Geelong Corporate Triathlon.

Today at beautiful sunny Geelong, what a perfect day it was to host the Victorian Sprint Distance Championships and The Geelong Corporate Triathlon.

I arrived there at 6.00am to be greeted by swarms of mosquito's the like of which I have seen. The race organizers were giving out free Aeroguard it was that bad and yes it was THAT BAD. Once the sun came up however it was all shine and ready for a race start.

And what a day it was for Tri-alliance. We had so many podium finishes you'll have to excuse me if I don't mention you all in this report as I'm doing all this off memory.

Special mentions must go to all Tri-alliance competitors who raced as it was a great team turnout and a great day for team all-over

Tameka was only 20 seconds behind Lindquist at the finish. She finished ahead of Athens and Sydney Olympians Nicole Hackett and Maxine Seear, with Pip Taylor, Nikki Egyed rounding out the top 15.
