After the morning briefing for coaches and athletes the 7 competitors lined up on the start line with around 30 Spectators.

The race started with the 100m swim, So our life guard and park ranger Mick counted us down from his Paddleboard.

Every one one went for it on the first swim but GB triathlete Micheal Powel got out of the water 20m ahead of Duncan, who was 10m ahead of Nick Stone & Ed Miller. Next came Oli, Nick Apps & Charlotte.

Duncan closed the gap on Mike in the first run but decided breast stroke was a good option for the second swim and mike gained another 20m, Ed came out of the second swim still 10m behind Duncan and had gained a small gap on Nick Stone.

In the final swim Mike was 50m up from Duncan and appears to have the Final well won. Duncan was only just ahead of Ed in the last swim and Lost second place as he put on his shoes at the start of the run. Ed ran strong and Duncan entered the gym a second behind Ed.

Next Saturday the 17th @ 11:00am


We will be having a fantastic day in the Milton country park. Starting with the Hero throwdown final where 12 athletes will compete in a massive workout (Swim, Run Crossfit).

The workout will be tougher and longer than any Hero we have done for the qualifiers so be prepared.

Athletes are advised to where shoes they can swim in (light beach shoes are probably best) as you will need to run in-between swims.

Athletes must meet at 10am on the balcony overlooking the lake for a briefing.

Spectators can watch the athletes from the balcony overlooking the lake or anywhere on the course to help sure them on.

Photo’s. please take lots of the day so we can share them after.
