Next Blast from the Past: 2010 Mooloolaba Women's ITU World Cup Triathlon

Hi all

Here's our next Sport Blast from the Past: the 2010 Mooloolaba Women's ITU World Cup Triathlon. With Emma Snowsill and Emma Moffatt not competing due to injury, the door was open for other competitors to shine, especially on a typically warm, humid Queensland coastal day. Some pics:

PS: Here's a video (1min 39secs) of the first 10 finishers in the women's event, shot at the finish line. Thanks to the Spanish gentleman in front of me who shot this for me while I kept clicking on my still camera.
