Sensational start to the season for Yarra Tri |
|
Under sunny skies and in perfect conditions Yarra Tri delivered the performances to match in the opening triathlon of the Victorian season.
There were wins to Kirsten Norden(female elite), Christine Hughes(30-34) and Michael Pratt(45-49). Plus Katie O'Keeffe with Gavin De Kretser in the teams race, although they did fail in their sworn mission to hold off Michael with the aid of a 4 minute head start!
Other athletes to reach the podium were Ali Crichton(30-34), Karen Hill(20-24), Jacinta Vines(40-44), Nick Leman(20-24), Shaun Broadbent(35-39) and Steve Squire(50-54). Fultz switched to the mini race to get a win but was pushed into 2nd spot!
Best of all was the atmosphere in the team marquee, with free massage from Michelle and lots of food and drink to help with the recovery (at least that was my excuse for eating so much!)
Next weekend is the 1/2 Ironman festival at Shepparton, so look out for more good performances there. |

The XOSIZE Tri Series kicks off the Victorian season at Green Point Brighton this weekend.
With a forecast of sunny warm conditions there is sure to be a big field and many of YarraTri's best triathletes will be competiting in both the elite and age group categories.
Look out for Kirsten Norden who will be stepping up from Junior Elite to Open Elite this season. In the age group ranks many of the athletes who competed for Australia at the recent World Triathlon Championships will be out there including medallist Michael Pratt, Christine Hughes, Shae Thomas, Shaun Broadbent, Ali Crichton, Karen Hill and Steve Squire.
The Yarra Tri Marquee is the place to meet, where members will receive free massage and a spread of food and drinks to refuel those tired bodies.
If you are not competing this weekend stop off on your ride to cheer the guy's along
