Inner City Cycles athletes Charlotte Paul and Yvette Clements both won their age groups at the 3rd and final race of the Kurnell Triathlon series on the Easter weekend. Both athletes were using the sprint distance race as a final hit out ahead of next weekend's Ironman Championships which will take place in Forster-Tucurry. It was a chilly start to the day, with a 750m swim in the choppy waters of Botany Bay, followed by a flat 20km ride and a 5km run in the picturesque setting of the Botany Bay National Park, now warmed by fine Easter Sunshine.
Clements set a blistering pace on the run course, recording the second fastest female run split of the day (within 4 seconds of outright winner, Swedish champion Lisa Norden) to win the 24-29 category and place 4th overall. Paul placed 2nd overall, winning the 30-34 category for both the race and the series with a comfortable and solid performance. Husband Kristian Manietta took 3rd place in the series.
Top 5 for Men and Women were as follows:
1 Chris Mccormack 0:53:27.4
2 Benjamin Harley 0:54:14.7
3 Phillip Dove 0:56:44.1
4 Blake Field 0:58:28.6
5 Peter Slijkhuis 0:58:52.6
1 Lisa Norden 1:00:11.1
