LUKE HARROP MEMORIAL
Totally forgot to update after my second last race on Australian ground - The Luke Harrop memorial Triathlon. This race is, as the name suggests a memorial tri for a former champion triathlete, Luke Harrop, who tragically died as he got hit by a a stolen car driven by an unlicenced driver in 2002. It bring all triathletes in the QLD area together to remember his life and many of his friends are competing. It is really quite beautiful.
Meegan did the sprint race as she has been injured and smashed the swim to such extent she won her AG!
I had been suffering from my long-lasting flu basically until the day before the race and scored no medal this time. Even if I hadn't been sick though I wouldnt have as a few elite people decided to enter AG instead of their Pro category (not fair!). Anyway, I am superhappy with my time:
Swim (750m, although Garmin said 880) - 14.51min (10 out of 34)
Swim (750m, although Garmin said 880) - 14.51min (10 out of 34)
Cycle (20km incl T1 and T2) - 38.25min (very windy!!) (5 out of 34)
Run (5km) - 22.04 (11 out of 34)
Total: 1.15.20 (7 out of 34)
Total: 1.15.20 (7 out of 34)
Dad was there supporting the entire day. Altough he must have been standing on the wrong place for most of the race as the first time he managed to get a glimpse of me was when I was striding towards the finish line lol/ At least he got some practice in supporting (which he afterwards has admitted was not as an easy task as he expected) for the last and final race in Byron Bay in May.
The few days before easter weekend were spent in Girraween so a trip report will follow shortly.
Happy Easter everyone!
