A triathlon was held at Aplin's Weir, Sunday 19th March, 2006. Athletes broke the mirror-like water a little after 6.30am. Despite the looming Cyclone Larry, conditions were perfect. Cool with not a drop of wind. The course/s was adaptable so some modified it slightly, but most did the long or short course with no change. A longish swim course suited the more aquatically adept. Rachel and Brad exited the water as the short and long course leaders respectively. The anti-clockwise, flat bike had minimal traffic, though some found the lap counting a 'tad' tricky. The guys heading to the Australian Ironman shortly, i.e. Stuart, Greg and Louise, made short work of the ride and the 5k run hardly warmed them up. A good morning was enjoyed by all and everyone's time and splits were recorded (see below), hope to see you at the next one. Pics
