YarraTri

Day 5 of racing for the YarraTri Team meant Aquathlon. There were 🥈place finishes for Kate & Nigel. Controversial race incidents that cost Pen & Michael medals and a top 10 finish on debut for Muireann. Most of all it was great to see the crew all supporting each other through a week of fierce racing.
Good luck to Tom who goes in the last race of the competition on Sunday the Long course Tri.

Race Day 4 at the World MultiSport Championships - Cross Duathlon.
Despite her crash a wounded Josie amazingly still got out and raced finishing just out of the medals in 4th with YarraTri’s other representative Helen coming in next in 5th. Well done to you both

Race Day 3 for the Multisport World Championships was Cross Triathlon.
The weather turned with high winds making for a choppy swim before a challenging MTB ride and brutal run. Despite this there were more strong performance from the YarraTri Team with silver medals 🥈for Penny & Michael, a super performance for 5th from Caleb and the guttiest performance from Josie who after crashing badly at the start of the MTB still continued to finish 13th. Congratulations everyone.

Next event up at the World Multisport Championships was the Standard Distance Duathlon. In hot conditions Marg raced well to a best World Championships finish of 11th and Helen was 17th on her debut. Great racing guys.

Race preparation session completed for tomorrow’s Victorian Duathlon Championships and the first round of the Victorian State Championship.
After a sensational season last season we are confident of more great performances in 2024-25

A wintery & wet Melbourne night wasn’t deterring the YarraTri team as they pushed through another Wednesday night track session. Quite often the challenging sessions in terms of climate or the session itself can be the ones we gain the most benefit from. Well done everyone.
