2017 Noosa Triathlon, Sunshine Coast

Hi all

I'm creating this blog post up to first draft stage, at least, as early as possible, to allow the search engine machinations to commence.

For the 10th time in succession, I enjoyed taking some personal happy snaps at the 2017 Noosa Triathlon. It was very impressive to see Ashleigh Gentle win the women's event for the fourth time in a row, and the fifth time in total! Wow! It was also good to see young Jake Bertwhistle win the men's event after placing second and third in the previous two years.

Some early pics (I'll be processing ~ 1000 more over the next week)

Another wave / cohort make as a splashy start (under the close watch of photographer Delly Carr too)

Speed Blur / Pan of some hydration early in the bike leg


Inspirational as always to see a triathlete with a disability working closely with his assistance triathlete


Let's go running - Run Leg


Later in the morning I, like the triathletes and runners, needed some shade, so I ended up at Noosaville. Thanks for the smiles and greetings people! :)

2015 Mooloolaba ITU Triathlon World Cup - Elite Men

Hi all

Following on from my recent blog post on the 2015 Mooloolaba ITU Triathlon World Cup - Elite Women, here's my post of pics on the 2015 Mooloolaba ITU Triathlon World Cup - Elite Men.

GO! - The Start


Aussie Peter Kerr first out of the water (the ocean :))


It was great to see David Hauss again. He has always been very competitive in Mooloolaba - not surprising since he almost medalled at the London Olympics. This time he went on to take his first Mooloolaba win.


Pablo Dapena Gonzalez


Tyler Mislawchuk


Australian Jacob Birtwhistle who did very well to take a podium place.


On to the bike leg, including this tricky downhill corner - Ron Darmon:


UxioAbuin Ares


Australian dual Olympian Courtney Atkinson who is on the comeback trail for Rio 2016. Perhaps it'll be tough for him given the quality of Ryan Bailie, Dan Wilson, Aaron Royle, Brendan Sexton and Jacob Birtwhistle, but good on Courtney for having a go.


Thomas Bishop


Alternate processing, 'pretty presets brown' - Jason Wilson


Jesse Featonby


Alternate processing, 'orange filter' - Cameron Good


Let's give the last word to deserved winner David Hauss

2014 Noosa Triathlon

Hi all

Yep, it has just been one of my favourite times of year again - Noosa Triathlon time. Despite traffic jams causing my shuttle bus to be late, I had an enjoyable time and it was also great to catch up with Tim Mullaly from expressive bikes.com who was supporting Lewis Greenhalgh who was competing (rather than 'demo'ing'). Ok, some pics:

Women's winner for the second time, Ashleigh Gentle, at the swim exit (where I had been late)


Contemplation


Swim Exit, entering T1


Some of the many Smiling for Smiddy team members


Swim exit super-close-up


Liz Blatchford, who came a nice fourth only 2 weeks after the exhausting Kona Hawaii Ironman event


Australia's entire 2014 Commonwealth Games team of Ryan Bailie, Dan Wilson and Aaron Royle battle hard for 1st, 2nd and 3rd


Brad Kahlefeldt ("Sticksy")


Ashleigh Gentle heading for the win


Ultra talented Canadian triathlete Paula Findlay, on the comeback trail, and heading for 2nd place


Felicity Sheedy Ryan


Interesting nutrition / fuel source during the bike leg


Evergreen Markus Hanley, still completing at ~ 82 years of age, in the bike leg


Support - "Go Megan, So Proud of You"


Nice leap for the camera in the run leg


In closing, I just want to say a big thank you to this many people on the run leg who provided a wave, smile or thumbs-up. Brilliant work!
