Sunday - Australian Long Course Championships
Dave Clark out line honours and claimed the Australlian Long Course Championship for M25-29. In what could be decsribed as a retro revival of former NSWIS junior stars and former HERT athletes that included World Championship medallists Nicholas Hornman and Trent Chapman.
Clark was joined on the bike by Nicholas Hornman out the front end of the field. Troy Drinan had exited the water with Corey Chapman, just 30 seconds down on Trent Chapman, however the pair were unable to match the former ITU World Cup athletes transition speed and found himself riding solo for the 82km cycle leg. Vlad Shatrov was out in the second pack and found himself with a drafting penalty by the end of the cycle leg.
As Clark and Hornman came into T2, Clark's comfortable ride had him poised to surge on the run and lay down a 68min run, the fastest of the day. Hornman held on for third overall and second in 25-29. Trent Chapman took the 30-34 age group with Drinan claiming third and securing his qualification for the World Long Course Championships in Perth come October. Shatrv ran solidly posting a 71 min run and closing in to finish 5th after serving a drafting penalty.
Kylie Elbourne and Julia Rutcsh put together solida races as they head towards the Port Macquarie Ironman on April 5th.
