Over forty of our athletes raced at the Geelong Multisport Festival on Sunday, while another two made the trip up to Falls Creek for the long course event.

Both courses turned out some challenging racing conditions. Geelong was wet and windy while Falls Creek was cold! Some stands out performances for the weekend were Ryan Hurrell coming in second in his age group, in his first long course event. Jamie Edwards also had a solid day out coming in third in his age group while taking the title of first ETPA’r across the line, well done Jamie. Denis Neal showed why he will be in contention for a Hawaii slot come Melbourne IM in five weeks. Denis stopped the clock in a 4:08 on Sunday on very fatigued legs. Dave Ross also had a great day out coming in at 4:17 with a puncture.  Karen Webb, Amanda Wilson and Kellie Pitman were stand outs for the girls. Amanda Wilson hit the group running with a 1:33 run off the bike. Darren Franken had the fastest swim/ride combination of our squad on the day but came off  his bike entering T2. Darren also continued to flex his coaching muscle with some great performances from his athletes. Notably, Dean Picken, Ben Ontronen and Mark Maunder had great races.

A heap of the first year athletes hung tough and learnt some solid lessons on a day made for hard racing. All in all ETPA had a great day of racing with some solid results. Keep up the good work guys.
