A very successful weekend of racing for the Sunshine Coast Triathlon Academy / Protector Aluminium Athletes that competed at the QTS # 3 Kawana Triathlon and Queensland Aquathlon Championships, Bribie Triathlon Race # 2 and  Point to Pinnacle Half Marathon.

QTS # 3 at Kawana never disappoints and turned on the storm front on the Saturday afternoon. It just a tradition and it hits. The storm made way to very warm and humid conditions on race morning especially on the run legs. SCTA was well represented across the OPEN and Age categories. Lucy Bowden made it her 3rd successive podium in the OPEN Females with a 2nd. While in the Male's Michael Hooper had a great race to finally land on the podium with a 3rd. It is his first podium in the OPEN's at QTS race. SCTA men also filled 4th Brodie Gardner and Peyton Craig 5th stepping up out of the Junior category in the OPEN's.
