This evening’s event was conducted in very windy conditions with a chill factor close to zero. It was these conditions that may have prompted most to push themselves to the limit as there were eighteen personal best times and another 3, who ran within 1 second of their previous best times.
In the 2 kilometres it was a great night for the Richards family as Felicity, Max, Leo and Marcus all running personal best times. Other families to show improvement were Sam and Olivia Cregan and Jade and Geoff Berry. Then came Cameron Lunn, Cathy West, Isabella Lopresti, Erin Domeny, Millie Shanahan, Gillian Edwards, Nerrida Louttit and Nellie Johnson with excellent personal best times.
The sole improve in the 3.5 kilometres was Steve Phipps showing that he is recovering from injury. In the 5 kilometres Bridget Lunn improved and, in the process, demonstrated to her brother Cameron, who was first home in the 2 kilometres, that the women in the family are the strongest.
We were fortunate to have Dan Lloyd-Jones run as part of his preparation for the World Age Triathlon Championships to be held at the Gold Coast from 12 to 16 September. Dan was selected in the Australian team to contest the Sprint Event in the 40 to 44 Age Group. This follows his previous selection in the Worlds held in Mexico in 2016.
