PMTC Newsletter. Hi All,

Transcription

1 Newsletter proudly supported by Finance & Insurance made easy And sponsors PMTC Newsletter Hi All, November nearly out! Where has this year gone? Well the season is certainly going off well with plenty of racers starting each time, and very few infringements of rules. I would ask you to be aware of the drafting rules (posted on the FB page) and also the general road rules. After last Sunday with Forster, there were a couple of issues with cyclists coming around the side of a car whilst stopped at a road end. This is dangerous and will result in automatic DQ for any offender. We don't want accidents, but this could have potentially been very serious. On a lighter note, a big congratulations to Daniel Voltz who competed in the World championship Cross Triathlon last weekend in the Snowy Mountains. Recording a time of 3:13 and finishing in 28 place.

2 Good luck to everyone travelling to the Western Sydney 70.3 this weekend too. Have a great time, and don't forget the sun block! The next Club race is Race 4 on 4 th December sponsored by Percival Property, followed by the Christmas Tag Team event sponsored by Oxley Insurance Brokers on 18 th December (which is also a fancy dress event if you feel so inclined) so I look forward to seeing everyone for some fun and festive cheer. And finally this will be the last newsletter of the year, but keep a look out on Facebook and s for club news, and above all have a very safe and Happy Christmas and New Year.

This year I was fortunate enough to be able to compete and travel to Noosa for the first time to compete in the Elite female field, a 1500m Swim, 40km bike and 10km run against a world class field and multiple Olympians. I went into Noosa with an open mindset and aimed for a top 10 finish which I would be ecstatic with. I ended up finishing in 11 th position, although I was very content and proud of what I had achieved, I had just missed 10 th position and some very handy prize money which has given me more motivation to head back next year and hopefully move up a few spots and improve on areas I know I can. The Swim was a 1 loop course and a beach start off Noosa Main beach, there were about 20 Elite women in the field so the start was very close and pushy. In hindsight I didn t position myself the

4 best I could on the start line and I paid for that as the gun went off. I didn t get a very clean start, although that s racing, I was towards the back end of the field into the water. It was about 300m out to the first turn buoy and I found myself passing the back end of the field and making my way into the front end middle of the pack. I passed a few more people as the swim went on, however I was unable to bridge the gap to the first 5-8 girls that had broken away into smaller groups. I found myself swimming with the likes of Radka Vodickova and Ashleigh Gentle and this is where I exited the water. The swim was definitely not one of my best, however I knew I had to now focus on trying to make up some ground or hang on in the bike/run. I would have liked to be about 1-2 minutes quicker but you can t have a good day every day. I had a quick transition and onto the 40km out and back bike course which was a mix of flat/technical sections, undulating hills and one 2-3km climb known as Garmin hill. Only 2 girls passed me on the bike, however as one is an Olympian and another a multiple 70.3 Champion I didn t get disappointed. I felt comfortable throughout the whole ride averaging about 37km/h for the 40km course. I tried to ensure I got a gel in and kept myself hydrated for the 10km run as it was starting to get quite hot out on course. I came into Transition 2 with two other girls and we exited onto the run course in 8 th, 9 th and 10 th position. About 2km into the run course I had caught another girl and for the remainder of the run we ran quite closely together taking turns at the front. At the 5km turn around point I could feel a stomach cramp coming on so I eased the pace down slightly and lost contact with the girl ahead. This was where I lost a little bit of time and 10 th position. The long run back to the finish began and I pushed as hard as I could as I believed I was coming 10 th and didn t want anyone else to catch me. I m sure the last 2km of my run were probably my quickest. The atmosphere at Noosa Triathlon is unbelievable and I would encourage anyone who hasn t competed to put it in your calendar of events in the future. Coming back into town, the cheers were amazing and I made my way down the blue carpet to finish in a time of around 2:14. At this point I was over the moon because I thought I came 10 th, much to my disappointment I soon found out I was actually 11 th.. I had joked all week about coming 11 th so maybe next year that s the first thing I won t do. Although the slight disappointment I was over the moon with my result and I can t thank both Bel and Ben Johnson from Smart Coaching enough for preparing me and ensuring I was fit and ready to go, as well as all of my many and amazing training partners. They are more than coaches to me and I appreciate every little thing they do to help and support me along the way and tick off goals I have set myself for the upcoming season. A bit of a long read, however I hope you have enjoyed a little race recap of one of the many races I have done this season. For me now I ll have a 3 week break from all training and racing before getting back into it at Christmas time to prepare for the New Year. Laura Cook

5 Port Macquarie Junior members showed they are off to a great start this season with 7 competing at Forster's Elite Energy Triathlon on 15th October. In the Enticer (200/6.5k/2k) Isaac Sanderson took out the overall win in for the second year in a row! Jasper Sumsky, competing for the first time showed he has a big future, placing 3rd overall in Alani Cockshutt juggled media commitments and racing to claim 7th place and be 2nd female in In the slightly longer Enforcer (400/11k/4k) the Port Macquarie Juniors did not disappoint up against a strong contingent of juniors from the Hunter Academy of Sport. Joe Begbie led from start to finish in a time of Boyd Bann- Murray stormed home in the run to claim 5th spot and 3rd male in Daffyd Wall exited the water in 3rd place and came home 11th and 2nd in his age group in Miren Davis showed how well her training is going placing 13th and being 5th female in Well done to all of you. Nepean Enticer 22nd October Joe Begbie and Lleyton Wall both competed at the Nepean Triathlon as part of the NSW Triathlon Talent Identification Program. The race was the same course at the Regatta Centre as used for the NSW All Schools Triathlon. Joe and Lleyton both need to work on their navigation skills in the water as they both managed to swim into the pontoon. However they did recover and remained on course for the bike and run loops. Joe finished in second place overall and Lleyton came home in eighth in a field of 137 competitors. Their next races are as part of the Multisports Festival in Orange before the ITU Youth season commences at Runaway Bay in mid-december Laura Begbie TriNSW Talent Identification Clinic Saturday November 5th saw the running of the TriNSW Talent Identification skills clinic here in Port Macquarie. The clinic involved a bike and transitions skills component at the regional stadium and an open water session in the river with an emphasis on ITU racing. The clinic was hosted by TriNSW junior coach Mich Ferris and his son Jack along with local coach Ben Johnson assisting them on the day. Sixteen juniors from Sydney to Yamba participated on the day with Port Macquarie being well represented with a total of eight juniors. The day started out at the regional stadium carpark with bike skills. Picking up cones, bunny hopping, slalom, cornering, track standing were all on the agenda. There was a few tumbles (no injuries) and some close calls and some laughs. From not being able to pick up cones or bunny hop at the start every kid had improved greatly by the end of the session, finishing with an obstacle course that involved using all the skills they had just learnt. Next was transitions, which was fast and furious. Elastic bands going everywhere, helmets getting blown off bikes by the wind. The kids enjoying every minute taking in all Mich was saying and Jack was demonstrating. After lunch saw the open water session conducted in the river, which was like swimming at the beach with the chop that was being produced by the howling wind. Ben ran this session, which saw the kids working on sighting, drafting, turning and open water

6 technique. A lot of laughs down at the river especially from the coaches when the kids were swimming with their eyes shut to see how straight they could swim. All in all a great day was had by all despite the hot and windy conditions. Everyone came away from the day having learnt and improved their skill set, with smiles on their faces and that's what it's all about.
