Another busy weekend of racing for the Sunshine Coast Triathlon academy / Protector Aluminium Athletes and Club Members in action.

Down at Werribee for the Oceania Junior Triathlon Champs, saw some rain Friday evening that cleared to sunshine Saturday morning, only to be told that the water quality was poor and now was turned from a Triathlon to a Duathlon over a 2.5km Run / 20 km Cycle / 5km Run. Race starts were also delayed due to bus service that was running during the times of the races.

Once the racing got started the wind was up and cool conditions greeted the athletes. Plan "B" was put in place and Sophie Burger executed to a tee. settling in the first run and launching on the bike. A 7 lap bike course with 14 U-Turns on tight narrow roads. Sophie came off with a group in 2nd place. A strong run set up a 13th spot. Not bad when your strength gets taken away from you, but she handled herself remarkably well considering all that was thrown at her.

Sophie lined up in the Oceania and Australian Junior Mixed Team Relays the next morning. Teams of 4 (2 x Males 2 x Female) covering a 600m Run / 6km Cycle / 1.2km Run. Sophie raced strongly to be the anchor of the team that saw them receive a Bronze Medal in the Oceania Champs and Silver Medal in the Australian Champs. Tops off a great season for Sophie.

Port Mac was the scene for the 70.3 and Ironman with Andrew Schmidt making his race comeback in Australia. The lead in wasn't ideal with the spicy cough and a new Bub arrival just before Easter. it was a great opportunity to hit a race venue that he loves and to gauge were his training is at with Hawaiian Ironman the key race later in the year. A strong race in a very competitive age category 35-39, saw a 12th place.

In the Ironman, SCTA Club Member and Professional Brodie Gardner hit the race with a good training block. Unfortunately 3 punctures on the bike course wasn't ideal, but he hung tough to finish with a Sub 3hr Marathon and 9th Pro Under 10hrs. Brodie will back up in 6 weeks at Ironman Cairns.

Emily Barrett flew home from South Australia to race the Bagara Triathlon over the standard distance. She had a solid race to take 1st (20-24) and 2nd Female Overall. We will see Emily line up in the 70.3 at Cairns in 6 weeks.

The Maroochydore Cricket Fields was the Venue for Race # 2 of the USCAC Cross Country Series. In the 3km we saw Wade Wallis 1st (13 Years Male), Eva Nicol Rann 1st (13 Years Female) and Marc Wallis 2nd (13 Years Male). In the 4km Millan Power 1st (14 Years Male), 6km Kyle Wallis 1st (17 Years Male) and SCTA Club Member Paul Marchant 1st 10km (18-29 Male)

Testing conditions greeted the swimmers for the Annual Byron Bay Ocean Swim Classic over the 2.2km were Duanne Cannell 1st (50-54) and 4th Overall and Troy Thompson 6th (50-54)

A busy couple of weeks for the Sunshine Coast Triathlon Academy / Protector Aluminium Athletes and Club Members in action at Australian Surf Life Saving Championships, Australian Paratriathlon and Intellectual Impairment Championships, Australian Marathon Canoe Championships,  Murrayman Triathlon, Triathlon Pink Sunshine Coast and Australian Super Sprint Youth and Junior Triathlon Championships.
 
The Gold Coast was the venue for the following Australian Championship events over the past few weeks with the Australian Paratriathlon and Intellectual Impairment Championships were held at Runaway Bay over the Super Sprint distance of 350/9/2.2 on the technical circuit on the Luke Harrop Track. Wet track wasn't ideal, but Grace Brimelow had a great race to take out the National Women's Title in the PTS3 division. Triathlon Australia has earmarked her as future potential PAraTriathlete and taking out the National title has put her on that radar.

Australian Marathon Canoe Championships over the 14.8km where Elke Madlener 2nd (U/16 K2) Silver Medalist and 6th (U/16 K1). The Australian Surf Life Saving Championships saw Saul Nicol Rann Crowned the Australian U/17 2km Beach Run Champion, while Janelle McCosker claimed a Bronze 60-64 Years 2km Swim and 5th Board. Millan Power claim 5th U/15 2 x 1km Beach Relay.

To round out the competitions on the Gold Coast was the Australian Super Sprint Youth and Junior Triathlon Championships. This 3 day event showcases the ability to react and learn with each race and see a progression from day 1 to day 3. This was evident once again this year. Millan Power (Youth) and Addison Houslip (Rookie) both first timers to this format and gain some valuable experience from this race weekend that will be use at future attempts not just at this race, but racing in general.

Addie stamped her authority in the female sections and gave the boys a run for their money based on race times with 3 race wins from 3 events. While Millan Power learnt the consequences of racing the World Triathlon Style formats and the rules that go with it. Even in the Youth "B" Final where he finished 3rd, he still had to serve a penalty for crossing the dismount line (we know he won't do that again). 

Emily Barrett lined up in the MurrayMan Triathlon over the 1.5/45/10 where she showed a dominate display taking out the Overall Female Win and U/40 Female. she was 14th Overall amongst the guys. The finish line photo shows she left nothing in the tank and enjoy the OD distance.

Sunshine Coast was the stage for Triathlon Pink where the main focus is on raising money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation, but we had  a few racing as well. In the Ultra, Elke Madlener 2nd (14 Years) and 8th Overall. In the Kids 10-13 Kowsik Kuppusamy 3rd, Billie Elsum 4th and Issak Young 5th. in the 3km Run Wade Wallis Race Winner while Marc Wallis was 4th. In the Females Billie Eslum 2nd and Chloe Turner was 3rd.

​A massive thanks to all the SCTA crew that volunteered their time to help out at this great event.

Great racing from the Sunshine Coast Triathlon Academy / Protector Aluminium Athletes and Club Members in action at Luke Harrop Memorial Gold Coast Triathlon and Goondiwindi Hell of the West.

We were greeted with perfect conditions for the Luke Harrop Memorial Gold Coast Triathlon, which meant fast and furious racing. Starting off the proceedings was the Oceania Cup Triathlon with automatic qualification for the Winners for Commonwealth Games. Sophie Burger lined up for her first ever Elite Female Race at this level. the pace was on from the get go and a great swim set up the opportunity to get in with some good riders in the pack over the draft legal format, that saw her come off the bike with the leading females. Sophie ran strongly to finish a credible 24th. An amazing experience that Sophie will gain confidence from for future racing.

In the Age Group racing it doubled as the Triathlon Queensland Sprint Championships as well. Kim Alexander 1st (50-54) and Greg Bush 1st (65-69) both crowned State Champions. 2nd Place to Jordan Gover (50-54) and Brett Stalley (55-59) both silver State Medalists. Receiving Bronze Medals in the Qld Champs was Kyle Wallis (16-17), Angela Vinnicombe (40-44) and Pauline Ashley (45-49).

In the Enticer, which also doubled as the U/14 Qld Sprint Champs saw Addison Houslip continued her great form to take the Overall Female Line honours, U/14 Title and State Champion.

Lauren Murphy took the 5hr road trip out the the annual Goondiwindi Hell of the West which saw the swim leg moved to the duck pond due to the recent flooding that saw the McIntyre River too dirty to swim in. The format was 2km Swim, 3.2km Run, 80km Cycle and then a 16.8km Run. Lauren had a strong swim to set a good position that she could build on during the race. We are in the first steps of her build to Cairns Ironman so it was a good indication to see where we are at with the training. She had a good day out where she came away with a 3rd 40-44 and 25th Female Overall.

A massive weekend of racing for the Sunshine Coast Triathlon Academy / Protector Aluminium Athletes and Club Members in action at Mooloolaba Triathlon, Peaks Challenge and Australian Alpine Ascent.

The 30th Mooloolaba Triathlon didn't disappoint with weather elements and tough racing thrown in. For the standard distance, Australian Titles were on the line with 4500 athletes. There were some amazing performances and massive PB's amongst the crew. All athletes have different goals and finish line times and the SCTA Athletes and Club Members were no different.

Emily Donker 1st (OPEN) had a strong race where she came off the bike with another athlete only to put in a strong run to run away with he win. Sophie Burger 1st (15-19) was crowned Australian champion and a 10 min PB. The always competitive Jordan Gover 2nd (50-54) performed extremely well in a very tough Age Category that saw Kim Alexander 4th. Finishing 3rd and a Bronze Medal was Keith Campbell (35-39) where he produced a 9 min PB from last years Moo Tri and went from 33rd to 3rd place and Emma McInnes (15-19) had a strong day out with a quick 10km run that also saw her take 3rd in the National UniSport Championships.... double 3rd place.

It was great to see Maureen Cummings 3rd (Legends) out and racing and the Big Boy Alex Forrest 4th (Clydesdale 100kg+) continues to improve with each race. Brett Stalley 6th (55-59) always races strong and today was no different to put a solid race in.

SCTA Club Members in action saw Rio Olympian Ryan Fisher 6th (ELITE) and Ryan Marsh 6th (OPEN) and 2nd Place in National Unisport Championships.
 
Saturday saw the Sprint Distance on a 3 lap Cycle course on wet roads up and around Mooloolaba / Alex Headland foreshore with 1100 athletes. The SCTA Athletes had a great day out with Margo Mackintosh 1st (40-44) and Fastest Female Overall and Sean Fraser 1st (45-49) had a strong race. Taking out 2nd places were Steve Miller (60-64) and Toby Coote (45-49). Just missing the podium was Edward Hayes Wood 4th (25-29), Saul Nicol Rann 4th (14-15) and Elke Madlener 6th (14-15).

SCTA Club Member Brodie Gardner 2nd (OPEN) headed to the Australian Alpine Ascent Triathlon over 3km Swim / 113km Cycle / 22km Run where he was 3 min behind the winner.

Tara Partridge and Tania Gover headed  to the Peaks Challenge at Falls Creek over 235km Cycle Race. Tara went on to finish 39th (41-50 Years) while Tania was forced to retire with an arm problem after a small surgery the week prior. I know these 2 crazies will be plotting a new adventure.

Great racing from the Sunshine Coast Triathlon Academy / Protector Aluminium Athletes and Club Members in action at Race # 1 of the Queensland Triathlon Series incorporating the Triathlon Queensland Club Championships. 

In the Standard Distance of 1.5/40/10 saw a low tide where there was a bit of a wade to start proceedings in the swim. Emily Donker had a strong day out with the fastest run split that saw her take out 3rd OPEN Female. Lauren Murphy 4th (40-44) had a solid day out. SCTA Club Member Simon Hearn 3rd OPEN Male chased hard after the young "ITU" Athletes.

In the Sprint Distance over 750/20/5 there was ding dong battle in the 50-54 Years Male that saw Kim Alexander take the win over Jordan Gover 2nd. Sophie Burger 2nd (16-19) had a great start with a strong swim  and bike. The run is improving all the time and with 6th Female Overall. Steve Miller 5th (60-64) performed strongly once again. Other top 10 finishes went to Callum Close 7th (16-19), Rebecca Howell 7th (25-29), Ethan Close 8th (16-19) and Rachel James 9th (35-39). Kyle Wallis 23rd (16-19) learnt some valuable lessons in only his 4th Triathlon. SCTA Club Member Ryan Marsh 4th (16-19)

Enticer racing was very strong and you see the growth of some of the athletes from season to season and the first race was no exception. Millan Power 6th (U/14) raced well as did Wade Wallis 25th (U/14) Both these boys have only competed in a handful of Triathlons and I look forward to seeing the progression this season. SCTA Club Members raced well with Grace Brimelow 10th (U/16) , Mia Davis 21st (U/14) and Jude Brimelow 21st (U/14)

In the Phoenix KIds Billie Elsum 21st (10-11) had a strong race while SCTA Club Member Carter Davis 15th (10-11)

While in South Australia for the Yerrebilla 28km Ultra Run, Margo Mackintosh 1st (40-49) and Female Race Winner had a great run over the 28km Run where she finished 6th Overall amongst the Men. Nice Work Margo!

Well done to all that Raced. Full Results below

Some great performances from the Sunshine Coast Triathlon Academy / Protector Aluminium Athletes and Club Members at our Home race doubling as the Queensland Long Course Championships at the Ironman Oceania Sunshine Coast 70.3

Angela Vinnicombe 8th (40-44) did a 10min PB. Norm Marsh was well underdone for the race but still put a in solid performance with 23rd (55-59).  Grant Callaghan from Protector Aluminium raced strong for a 29th (50-54) while Andrea Learoyd smiled her way around the course having a great day out with 46th (40-44). Alex Forrest lined up in his first 70.3 and put in a solid effort with 60th (25-29) while the Mixed Teams Rebecca Howell (Swim), Lauren Murphy (Cycle) and Tom Li (Run) were 18th.

SCTA Club Members Matt Wolstencroft 1st (50-54) and Zsolt Dallos 3rd (40-44) both walked away with Queensland Champion Titles, while Paul Marchant 3rd (25-29) took away a silver in the State Champs. Well Done.

The previous weekend saw Margo Mackintosh head south for the South Australian Duathlon Championships and was greeted with icy cold and windy conditions. Margo raced extremely well to take out the RACE WIN in OPEN Females and crowned the State Champion.

We had both Emily Barrett 1st (20-24) and Lauren Murphy 2nd (40-44) under direct instructions to stick to IM Race Pace as it was a perfect lead in to Cairns Ironman in 4 weeks time.

Rachel James 4th (35-39) has been progressing well over the past few months and we saw that hard work reaping its benefits.

In the Enticer over 300/10/2.5, it was a bit of fun times amongst the ladies to see who would take the bragging rights with the fastest time. Rebecca Howell took the honors with 1st (25-29), Torah Rose 1st (16-19) with Jorja Matthews 2nd (16-19) and shouting the coffees, or was that donuts!!!
