OTHER NEWS:
1. Rod Gregg will be lining up for his 10th Ironman at IM WA in a few weeks. It's taken him awhile to get around to doing this milestone event, but we always knew with passion like his, it would happen some day.
2. Ironman 70.3 World Championships take place in Clearwater this weekend. Follow the action via athlete tracker at www.ironman.com
3. Australian cyclist and former Paris-Roubaix champion Stuart O’Grady was taken to a Spanish hospital after he collapsed following a lap on the Valencia MotoGP race course on the back of a motorcycle piloted by 2007 MotoGP champion Casey Stoner.
4. The New York City Marathon on 1 Nov 09 was the largest marathon field in the sport's history - 43,741 runners and 43,475 finishers (a 99.4% completion rate).
5. Erica Reeve was among those who did Canberra's Tour de femme last weekend. She had a seeded position to start, got swept up in the front pack and pushed super hard to hold them. Unfortunately she lost the bunch with 1km to go and came in 23 seconds behind the winner. But 25th out of 600 ain't bad! They kept an average speed of 40km on a semi-hilly course! Erica was recently in Darwin for a quick visit.
6. Entry to 2010 Mooloolaba Triathlon opens Monday 16th November.
7. Here's an ever recurring dinner table discussion point: After some recent high profile DQs in IM events (including Kona) there is a call for the female pros to be given a 30 min start on the field so they don't get mixed up with the age group men (who apparently cause all the problems .. put that's a whole different discussion !!!). I take an alternate view and would love to go back to the good old days of mass starts and "may the best man/woman win". Either that or make the draft penalty 20 - 30 mins in the box at IM events, which would pretty much mean your race is over if you get caught drafting and may discourage pros & age groupers alike from committing the dastardly deed in the first place.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN...
... you know what T1 and T2 means
... you have elastic laces in at least one pair of shoes
... you find yourself using cycling signals when out for a group run.
Train safe,
Cheers,
Robyn
