13dec05 Canberra Half Ironman Tri Results: Including Leon's Win, Bendigo Results and Gossip

Local boy Leon Griffin took the Canberra Half ironman Tri by the throat, winning by a huge margin last Sunday. In great conditions last Sunday Leon powered away on the bike leg and won by over 8 minutes. There were a number of Bendigo Tri Club members who also tackled the course which consisted of a swim in Lake Burley Griffin, a bike course with almost no flat sections but plenty of hills and turns and a run along the lake. Results for locals and nearby locals were: Scott FOREMAN of COHUNA 35 to 39 4:35:46 23rd overall, Frank SCARCE 45 to 49 4:37:54 27th overall, Darren CARMODY of ECHUCA 40 to 44 4:43:26, Glenn REA 30 to 34 4:45:40, Rick JACKEL 45 to 49 4:53:03, Roy PREECE 45 to 49 4:58:32, Adam FLEMING 18 to 24 5:19:23, David MERRETT of ECHUCA 35 to 39 5:27:10, Tony KOLB of ECHUCA 45 to 49 5:40:07, David PERRIS 35 to 39 5:40:55, Ann BARTON of ECHUCA,VIC 40 to 44 5:55:53 Congratulations to first timers Dave and Adam on your maiden halves. Thanks to supporters including Renee and Craig "Mr Statistics" Sloan for their encouragement, to Craig also for driving Frank and Rick home, an interesting trip we hear. Contact any of the above if you are off to the nation's capital. A wealth of information on where to eat out and shop and how to get around (and around ...).

Bendigo Does Well at Meningie

From the official press release, "Sparkling bike performances were the order of the day at the Meningie South Australian 1/2 Ironman. Victorian David Meade continued his preparation for Ironman WA with another impressive performance. He took the lead with his usual powerful bike leg and held off duelling local hopes Scott Green and Matt Stephen on the run." Congratulations David on another impressive win. We heard it was a very tough half ironman, particularly coming home into the wind on the bike. David's time was 4:06:21 Jason Sim also competed, finishing 13th overall in 4:39:28 thanks to strong bike and run legs - well done Jason and like David on track for Busselton.
