Tristen Haines<br />
Tristen did a great sub 3 hour marathon and moved up to fast lane swimming.<br />
Stacey Munro<br />
Anastasia Munro - Stacey keeps getting stronger and stronger. She qualified for the Olympic and Sprint World Championships.<br />
Her times for the Challenger series continued to get better and better. Finally, in Geelong she had an awesome<br />
race placing 7th with a a time of 2.32<br />
Leigh Chivers<br />
Leigh's improvement has been amazing to witness. His bike leg is scary, soon he will be unstoppable<br />
and even uncatchable. New to the sport he continues to hit goals and gain fast<br />
time in races. Lethal Leigh!! Bring it on! According to Sara, he is always training and spending<br />
time fiddling with his bike to get it 'just right!'. Well done Leigh<br />
Oh my goodness, thank heavens he is ours - he knows no bounds. I will plan for hanging<br />
around til the end of each event, so we can cheer him on the podium. Its expected now isn't<br />
it?<br />
What a season from this relative new comer to the sport of <strong>Triathlon</strong>. After a solid consistent<br />
year of training, Leigh has worked this way to the pointy end of the clubs racing crew. He has<br />
opened many eyes and caused a lot of competitive pain in process. Leigh has a great give it a<br />
go attitude, is a great well respected club member and is bound to go a long way.<br />
I can‘t really go past Leigh for male triathlete of the year. Super dedicated and mixing it with<br />
the very best in his age group while still relatively new to <strong>Triathlon</strong> he has raked up impressive<br />
results and easily making the Worlds team. Even more impressive is the guy can go<br />
faster yet!! Snowy and Pete have their hands full!<br />
Leigh ... He is in fire!!<br />
Leigh has achieved some incredible results this year. In particular getting first in Hobart and Geelong.<br />
I'd have trouble going past Leigh Chivers for this, his effort this season have been phenomenal, alternatively he would<br />
also get my vote for most improved.<br />
Smashed Challenge Series. Smashed Gatorade. Smashed Duathlons. Smashed everyone.<br />
He just keeps getting faster and now winning national series races ... will he just slow down.<br />
Renate Tirpcou<br />
Renate, won duathlon series, qualified for worlds in her first real season, and has a 18 month old baby too.<br />
Anthony Norwood<br />
For his dedication and commitment to the sport and contribution to the <strong>Club</strong><br />
Stewart Sheffield<br />
Stu has been the quite achiever this year, working his way up to the pointy end<br />
of a very competitive field and consistently producing significantly improved race<br />
times. Not only has Stu managed to lift XTC to new levels of existence and race<br />
performances, he put together a solid consistent season of training to reach his<br />
personal goals and score himself a position on the Gold Coast World Championships<br />
team. Good job Stu.<br />
Shannon Smith<br />
Shannon's improvements particularly on the bike over the past season are worthy<br />
of recognition. Her determination and willingness to push herself (and others)<br />
into new levels of pain, have resulted in some outstanding performances. Well done Shan, good luck for the Gold<br />
Coast World Championships.
