Erin Baker Standard - Team Triathlon Kinloch
Last Sunday we competed in the Sovereign Tri-Series in Kinloch. An early start at 7am sent the swimmers on their way. Lachie our swimmer did his 1,500m swim very fast and came out of the water in second position in an amazing time of 23:21.
Nathan did an awesome job and did 40km on his bike on the angulating course before passing his transponder over to me. At this stage in the race the leading team (Sovereign Staff 1 team) in the team category already had about a 5km head start when I started my run.
This "All Star" Sovereign team were the ones we had wanted to beat. Unfortunately for us this team had some big guns at their disposal. Their swimmer, Ross Anderson, former butterfly and freestyle swimmer for New Zealand set the fastest swimming time for the day with 19:04. Their cyclist Graham Hill was the fastest in the team category and 2nd overall for the day with an great time of 1:09:16.
In the end we got third overall and we were all very satisfied with our result. We loved this event and we have all suggested we should come back for another Tri. When we do I have promised to train a bit harder over the Christmas holidays!!
