The Tannum Tri was held a couple of weeks ago with perfect weather for another great event. The event was sold out with just over 200 competitors. There were plenty of Grinders in
action, along with other local and visiting athletes, and some excellent results were posted
throughout all distances and events. Ben
Wriede took out the Long race and set a new course record in the process. While
we could say it’s even more incredible with him just coming off night shift, it is worth
mentioning he’s an electrician, so it’s highly likely he wasn't too tired lol. I
personally think he saw me closing him down after the swim and he got worried but
nobody else seems to believe me! Other winners from Tannum were Mitchell Earl
in the Short Duathlon, Julianne Cilliers in the Women’s Short Duathlon and Ben,
Cathy and Wayne in the Team Short Tri, well done to all.
A special mention to Mick, Craig and Graeme for helping out
with the setting up of the bike course and other duties they performed during
the morning, thanks gents can’t thank you enough. Geert for once again looking
after the run course. The Wriede's for doing what they always do so well. Of course a big thanks goes to Doug for looking after the swim
and pulling it all together.
To any others that helped out that I have missed mentioning, thank you as
well; these things run so much easier with people to help out.
