Jane Mooney was the fastest women on the day, finishing in 69min 52secs, with second place decided by the thinnest possible margin, 1 second, with Michelle Woodley just ahead of Emma Pearson. Wow! First woman’s vet was Sandra Thompson.
The fastest swim of the day was Tony Weed, as expected, followed by Len Mann, and in third place, Jordan Baker, a youth doing his first triathlon, eased through the 400m swim in 5:17 completing the event in an impressive 87 mins 39secs – well done!.
Fastest run was Michael Strikson, posting 19:57 for the 5K; not bad for Category K vet! Well done and tell me your secret.
