RACE RESULTS
The first World Champs selection races were held last weekend and we had some great results for BTS athletes who competed. In ,Merinda Eckart won the 20-24 ladies in the WA State Sprint Champs to gain maximum points towards selection.
Not only was it a win but it was also Merinda's first podium in her age group and something that been coming for a while now on the back of some good consistent training and racing. And at the qualifying race in Canberra, everyone that raced gained selection points.
Leading the way were Kristy Bell and Yas Grigaluinas who both placed 6th in the 20-24 and 35-39 ladies while Amanda Johns was 10th in the 30-34 ladies. In the men's Troy Grimshaw, Mark Gleeson, Pat Dall and Darren Lockhart were all in the top 15 in their age groups to post some early points.
Chris Bierton also placed well and received some points despite running 12.5km in the run leg when the officials did not have someone at a run turnaround. Unfortunately there were quite a few in the same age group that suffered the same fate as Chris.
TRAINING THIS WEEK - FAREWELL AND CHRISTMAS SESSION
The calendar this week is slightly different with Robson's Thursday morning run now on Friday morning. As in past years it will be a chance to get together before Christmas and finish the year with some drinks and nibbles after the session.
The session starts and finishes at the Soutbank Lagoon and we would like everyone to bring a plate or something to drink for after the session. We do this session every year with Robson and he does a great job in finishing off the year with a good session.
As a result there is no Friday morning wind trainer or swim this week and tomorrow morning the only session is the swim with Tim.
Tomorrow night is also Bronny's last session and afterwards there will be a bbq at the pool to celebrate her time with BTS. If you would like to attend please reply to Bronny's facebook invitation so catering can be finalised.
Training will resume on Tuesday January 3rd but it is a slightly reduced program that week so please check the calendar for all details.
MOOLOOLABA CAMP 2012
We are still taking places for the 2 and 3 day Mooloolaba training camp from Thursday 26th to Sunday 29th of Jan. If you would like to attend please contact suz@brisbanetrisquad.com.au to secure your spot.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
On behalf of everyone at BTS we would like to wish everyone a safe, festive and happy Christmas and New Year. We hope that 2012 is a great one for BTS members and their families and we look to seeing everyone in the New Year.
Training resumes again on Tuesday January 3rd after this Friday morning's session with Robson.
