Two ETPA hard chargers made the trip across to Canberra for the recent Half Ironman.

Fernando Rodriguez hit the track running in his first attempt at the Half Ironman distance. Fernando had a great swim of 27mins and then pushed hard for the rest of the day to stop the clock in a 5:38. ETPA expect big things from Fernando over the coming years as has only just transitioned across from Swimming to Triathlon.

Alan Hutchinson made a long awaited return to long course racing after a bike crash last season. Alan’s efforts typify what long course racing is all about, the “never say die” attitude and the absolute love of the sport. It’s great you are making your way back into things mate.

Name	Swim	Ride	Run	Total
RODRIGUEZ, Fernando	00:27:31	03:02:36	01:59:09	05:38:38
HUTCHINSON, Alan	00:48:09	03:23:50	02:15:16	06:37:17

That wraps up another great weekend of racing…well done all.
