Tribe Club Results

Enduro triathlon 22/10/05  150s/5c/1.5r   x 3

The club's first enduro triathlon at the Mount Barker Swim Centre was well attended with 24 competitors and a lots of supporters to cheer them on. Competitors had the choice of racing each round, either once, twice or three times.

In the long course we had 10 competitors divided into two waves, in the medium course there were five competitors and in the short three. A mini event was run before the main tri started with Hayley, Curtis, Zac, Keenan, Jarrah and Ryder all getting in to the spirit of racing with lots of enthusiasm.

In the short event we saw Daniel Clohesy and his sister Catherine battling it out with new comer Lachlan Ambrose in a closely run race in which Catherine came in first over the line.

The second event saw Dani Korver, Donna, Carl, Ben Clohesy and Eleahn all putting in great performances with Ben Clohesy placing first.

The long course with the two waves saw some intense racing as tribesters tested out their fitness levels after the winter layoff. Tim Bolton emerged from his winter hibernation and put in an enthusiastic race. Some of them hadn't swam since last June and found the swim legs fairly testing, especially after the first and second run legs. Probably the most closely fought battle award would have to go to Kevin Colla and Andrew Ketteridge who competed neck to neck over all three legs continually passing and overtaking each other until the last run leg when Andrew pulled away to cross the line in front. Des and Helen raced as a team and Scott  took out line honours cruising in with a couple of minutes up his sleeve.

Afterwards club members went down to Digby's house at Macclesfield where we had a great BBQ and spent the night rehashing some old memories!

Note: All times were taken from the bike transition area and somehow along the way we missed the split in the short event for the bike leg - sorry about that.
