Race 8…..At last we race ….just
Well we nearly didn’t but in the end we did…..race that is.
Finally we hit the water with about 80 odd contestants. They battled bumpy seas, windy and wet ride and a windy and wet run.
What did we learn today?
The big Diesel engine in Raleigh Wallace took out his first race, great job.
Paul Williams and Sam McInnerney had a great tussle and sprinted from 250 meters out with Paul just pipping Sam for second.
Pidge McMaster is now a three dimensional athlete , not a one dimensional cyclist 
Mark Dooley is looking fit
James Ferris is fast.
30 Athletes competed in the men’s short course…great stuff
Sean Peckover is too quick for the short duathlon, lets talk him into going longer
In the Father Daughter races, Duncan just pipped Isabel and Charlotte was too quick for George
The olympic team may have their Emmas, we have our own with Emma Townsend and Emma Gennings being split by Cheryl Ogden.
40 women participated today…sensational
Great to see the Spottiswood girls in Jodie, Tiarney and Kel back in action.

Race 7 Cancelled
Regrettably the Frenchville triathlon club has to again cancel today’s (18 th March) race due to heavy rain and roads having water over them making it unsafe for racing
Race 6 Cancelled
Due to dangerous amounts of water on the road, today’s race has been cancelled. This notice applies to the tadpoles race as well. Apologies for the late notice as an assessment could only be made on the day.
Late Breaking News: Tomorrow’s Swim
Due to the current bad weather, tomorrow’s swim leg may be cancelled, turning all triathlon events into duathlon events. A decision is pending, and should be made by 1:00pm Saturday. Stay tuned!!!!
UPDATE: The Yeppoon lifesavers have advised that due to current and projected rough seas, the swim leg of tomorrow’s triathlon will be cancelled. The race will still proceed at this stage as a duathlon. Please note that despite the lack of the swim leg, you race will be recorded as a triathlon for the end of season point score.
