Race Updates

 A great weekend of results for Sunshine Coast Triathlon Academy / Hybrid Concepts Australia Athletes competing at Xterra Philippines, Queensland Triathlon Series Race # 6 Caloundra Tri and Ironman 70.3 Geelong.

At Xterra Philippines, in warm and humid conditions, Brodie Gardner returned to further his 4th placing from last year. Over a 1.5km Swim, 35km Mt Bike and 9.2km run, Brodie put a great race together to receive his first podium in a Xterra event with a 3rd place. Not a bad effort seen he has been working full time on his business, Intune Sports and Health, and training when he can fit it in. Well done mate and safe travels home.

Onto Ironman 70.3 Geelong, In very warm conditions the aim is to try and get that lucrative slot for World 70.3 Championships right here on the Sunshine Coast in September. Matt Wolstencroft (45-49) led the charge with a 3rd place and gaining a slot for that World Champs. Kirra Seidel had an eventful race in the Professional race to finish 10th, with Courtney Potts (18-24 Years) just having relocated down to the Sunshine Coast from Townsville to join SCTA gained a 10th.

At QTS # 6 at Caloundra we had 35 SCTA Athletes toe the start line in a variety of distances from Kook Kids, Enticer, QTS Super Sprint and QTS Sprint. A very busy day and we saw 10 podium finishes. Leading the charge with a category win was Angie Hammond (Athena's) and Finn Barlow (7-9 Years).
