Race 2 - Elwood
Race Director report
Congratulations to everyone that participated in Race 2 of the Gatorade Triathlon Series incorporating the Brooks Fun Tri Series. Special mention goes to the winners of the elite category in the male and female divisions, Peter Kerr and Elly Franks. Peter has now finished on top of the podium in both Race 1 and Race 2 of the Gatorade Triathlon Series and hailing from Geelong has really shown the ‘city slickers’ how it’s done. Elly Franks, the Elite Female winner, has typically specialised in half ironman distance events but she showed her true versatility today with her top of the podium finish.
The day kicked off in good style with the weather holding off for the entire day and even the sun coming out as many of the Gatorade competitors crossed the line and enjoyed the morning sun while enjoying the contents of their show bag. The photos and results of today’s event will be up by 6pm tonight. Thanks must go to the current Olympic Champion and former World Triathlon Champion, Emma Snowsill, for her involvement at the swim Start as well as signing autographs and helping with presentations.
Christmas spirit awards went to Michael Cox (#1115) for his reindeer ears on the cycle leg, and to Tri Alliance for the most festive triathlon tent.
The SuperSprint team hope that you enjoyed the event and we hope you have a safe and happy Christmas as well as a fulfilling new year.
Regards,
David Hansen (Event Director)
