Great Day for WRCC at State Duathlon Champs

A great day for WRCC at the state duathlon champs in Gatton!

Both Weavers girls Alexandria and Monique won their category as the first girls in the kids and mini-kids duathlon. Monique managed a second place overall, beating all  but one of the boys and leaving the other young Queensland boys behind and wondering about girl power.

Mellissa Rollinson, true to form managed to convincingly win the womens race by 6 minutes and going around 10 minutes faster than last year. Pretty impressive considering that she just started cycling again 2 weeks ago and had a bad accident 2 days before the race.

Luke Preston managed a third in his age group, but would have done a lot better if he respected the environment. Yes, our Lukie (the Kid) was caught out shamefully littering a gel packet - an offence that gets you 3 minutes in the penalty box under triathlon rules. However, undeterred, he carried on with is race and still posted an impressive result. Well done Luke, the Shrek of Shame is yours for another week!

Paolo was also left wondering about girl power - after running his fastest 10k ever and thinking he would catch mighty Mel on the bike, was stunned by the fact that even his new disc wheel could not make a dent in the gap - she managed the same bike split as him! Next year he will try his luck at the state bingo championships!

Well done all, a great race and a proud day for the club.
