Canberra Half Ironman
Congratulatons to all who competed at the weekend. A fantastic result for Alison, first in her age group, and top-10 for Adam, Ben, Danny, Kevin and Leica. Peter K finished the race, but just missed the cut-off, and did a bit extra when he missed a turn-around after they took the signs away early. Peter L decided running was too much for his dodgy knee, although it felt good for the 50m run off the bike to the ice-cream tent.

Transitions  

 

Due to too many festive occasions and racing commitments, transition training will recommence on Tuesday 18th January.  Please could anyone that is interested in attending, let me know so that we have enough people to structure a good session.  Email ciclismo@tpg.com.au -  6:30pm start from the Rotunda and session is all about run/bike/run so good for short and long course triathletes and anyone interested in the World duathlon champs which is going to be held in Newcastle, NSW in Sept this year.  Qualifier is in April.
