Tribe Club Results
Woodside Triathlon 19/6/05
The last army
barracks tri was held today in what could only be described as bleak weather
conditions. The rain fortunately held off, but all competitors suffered from
the cold, especially on the bike leg where many chose to wear jackets. In all
17 tribesters turned out for this last tri. In the mini, Sophie and Madeline
Jones along with Keenan Georg-Dent, all put in great performances.
Under the
handicap system the Sprint and Short course events were run as one. The Short
course competitors triumphed by taking out the first three positions. In a
fitting finale, the club race director, Bret Hart, was first over the line
earning him a place in club history by being the last winner of the last tri at
this venue. Eleahn claimed second place with Daniel Clohesy taking the third.
In the
Sprint, Bruce Cox after a hesitant start in the swim leg surged away to run in
first in over the line. Obviously his Thursday nights run sessions are starting
to pay dividends. Second in was Leonie Proctor, followed in by Mark Bloomfield
in third place. Fastest swim went to Helen Roach, 5:50, fastest bike Scott
25:09 and also fastest run 12:56. Mark Bloomfield showed his continued
improvement of form with the second fastest bike leg, 26:46 and run leg, 13:00,
just 4 secs. behind Scott.
In the Short; fastest swim Daniel Clohesy 2:30, fastest bike, Ian Cox 11:15, and fastest run, Daniel Clohesy 4:19. The last two tri's were run as a handicap series.
