Draft Legal --is it the "new triathlon ?"


Champion Lakes Report:

This is becoming an amazing concept by Exceed Tri Club.

Well run with plenty of the "old feel triathlon " to it ----mixed in with some hard format racing .

Competitors all loved it with some even saying harder then a 70.3( due to the red

line racing aspects of it ) . Kind weather -- safe course - parking ---it was all OK.

ITU rules- only road bikes & gear into a crate- no towels on ground etc

So usual Sprint format for first race then the twists --reverse race after very short

smaller distance --then short recovery and go again ........ THEN to finish it off......

the " dash for cash" over 1km for those still able to run quick .

Some Quotes from the day -

" I have done heaps of races and on the last one couldn't even find my bike "

" My arms were lead on that last swim - sure the lake had molasses in it"

" Never made so many rookie mistakes after the first 2 events--even ran with my

helmet on at one stage...LOL....but it was all so good "

"Actually enjoyed the draft legal bike and felt less pressured just riding without

all the distance issues "

Well done EX T.C --- showing the way nicely out there .......
