What a day to kick off the 2XU Triathlon Series! Despite the wild weather rolling in and forcing the swim to be cancelled, our athletes adapted brilliantly as the event shifted into a duathlon with a beach run. The strength of our program stood out with all our athletes finishing top 6 in their respective categories.

Our junior squad used this event as a high quality training race under pressure. They executed their race plans well and put together some fantastic splits across the board including a race win and 2 podiums! It was great to see their skills and race awareness continue to develop. These experiences are invaluable and will pay off later in the season.

We also had a couple of age group athletes out on course who absolutely smashed it. Penny Tomkinson delivered as always with a strong podium performance and Lucas Harris dominated the Fun Tri, not only winning his category but also with the fastest Fun Tri time of the day!

Overall it was an awesome start to the series. We’re excited for what’s to come at the next race!
