TriVic Duathlon Series Race 1 Knox 5/20/3 |

It was a cold morning for the first race of the duathlon season at Knox where six Eltham Tri Club members competed. The roads were wet from the overnight rain and Mt Dandenong in the background was half covered in cloud.
One of the Open athletes provided some entertainment at the startline wearing speedos after loosing a bet while others were wearing arm warmers or compression tops to keep warm.
The first run started slowly but picked up the pace with the front three including Eltham Tri's Paul Attard, getting a 20sec gap ahead of the field.
The bike was a slow course of 5 laps with 3 hairpins per lap and 40 turns over the 20km - meaning the riders never had a chance to hold their speed for long. The constant acceleration tired the legs of everyone, but Paul Attard managed to stretch his lead further by almost a minute over his chasers and eventually ran away to win easily.

June Long Weekend The Eltham Tri Training Camp was a huge success with 18 Eltham Tri Members spending the long weekend training and competing in ideal conditions. 
Eltham Tri Club in Training on the Maryborough Velodrome. Idyllic weather conditions saw four new records set by triathletes from Maryborough, Eltham Tri and other locations across Victoria at the Maryborough Clubs Reverse Triathlon Event. A bumper field greeted race organisers at the starting line and some very exciting competition prevailed throughout the race. In the Open Male Category it was a trifecta of Eltham Triathlon Club members who took line honours in what could only be described as a tight finish with less than one minute separating these competitors. |

March 16, 2008 - Bon Beach is one of Melbourne’s best kept secrets. Even regular Beach Rd. Riders who pass it on the way to Frankston don’t know where it is. But each year in March it hosts the last of the Herald Sun Swim series and this year a small but highly successful group of our members acquitted themselves well in the calm bay conditions. Club VP Leanne Sheean secured another first in the F50-59 category and Mike Gowan came in second to renowned long distance and English Channel swimmer Jon van Weiss in the M30-39 category. Well done guys! And congratulations to Leanne on her third place overall in the Herald Sun Series for the 07/08 season. |

Place getters on the day were Simon Carey (1st ITU Juniors), Cam Simon (2nd M30-34), Steve Hadley (3rd M25-29) and our Mixed team entry “Eltham Tri” (Simone Martonhelyi Swim, Mike Gowan Bike and Emily Jackson Run) came in 2nd.
