Forster ProTour Enduro - Jake Montgomery Race Report I had been looking forward to this race as it was an enduro format which is 300 swim, 8km bike, 2km run, 300m swim, 8km bike, 2km run. The race was to begin at 1:40pm so I spent time at camp getting to know guys in N.S.W squad as I will learn a lot from them. We rode out to race together to register and set up transition. There were heaps of people around and had already been a lot of races. The Forster Triathlon Festival is always huge with over 9 races in 2 days. I We walked down to swim start then we were off .Had a pretty good first swim but these guys are really strong wasn’t to far off pace and managed to get on pack. Bike leg was FAST but I was feeling confident even without my big chain ring a quick transition onto the run with a big hill at start it was hard to keep a good pace. Back into transition to run down for 2nd swim. Much harder this time, arms and legs like jelly but much better execution of swim so was able to get on to pack again. Felt even better on this bike leg really strong in cornering and spent most time on front of pack which was tiring but fun. Then back into transition again for final run. Really had the jelly legs now but held pace and made up time and positions. My final placing was 13th out of 30 U/23 competitors and 16th in the open catergory. I am very happy with result, not up there yet but making steady progress and learning with every race.
09/11/2009 PORT KEMBLA TRIATHLON RACE 2 Another great field of 74 athletes took on the difficult Port Kembla course in cool but great racing conditions. Junior Jake set the field alight by posting a very fast swim time and set up a day at the front ahead of Alex Ball and the fast finishing Rob Battocchio. On the female side Erin Hargrave set the field alight with her excellent run to post a strong win from Kate De Agnoli and Bree Jones. Full results can be found here. A reminder to all to enter the Teams Triathlon (our next race) as entry is limited to 100 teams!!! So grab you mates and get in quick.
05/11/2009 Three Important notes for Triathlons The swim course is normally a 2 lap clockwise course- The start will be moved south and the swim will be in a 2 lap anticlockwise direction. This will make the swim smoother and allow the course to handle multiple wave better. Due to the increasing numbers of competitors, we can no longer accept late registrations. You must be in the registration before 7:30am or you will not be racing. Please do not park on the course, we do not want your car damaged by a competitor. Please park in the side streets or on Military Road.
26/10/2009 ITC athletes HOT in Perth Kerry, Steven, Anna and Dave all performed well in difficult conditions at the WORLD LONG COURSE CHAMPIONSHIPS held in Perth on Sunday. The 3km swim in the Swam River was more like an open water ocean swim with strong head winds making the first 2km very choppy and difficult. The strong winds continued onto the 80km bike leg which made riding a Time Trial bike fast challenging. As the temperature rose to 32 Degrees the wind subsided as we all made it to the unsheltered road run. The reflected heat off the road made for a very hot 20km run. We were all happy with our efforts in the conditions and whilst we are not Age Group Worlds Champions this time we are all proud to represent Australia and it felt great to wear green and gold. Steven from Perth.
