With water temps at 14 degrees Sophia opted to not do a swim warm up. This made the first lap of the swim difficult but she did warm into it. Sophia's ride was good, not too hard, unfortunately her group wasn’t working well together and 6 girls got away in front and put time into them on every lap. Sophia came off the bike feeling okay and was ready for a good run. She was pegging back a few girls every lap of the run until handed a 15 sec penalty.

Arriving in Goondiwindi (“Gundy” to us locals) at 2:00pm on the Saturday afternoon, I hopped out of the cool comfort of my car’s air conditioning and was immediately hit with the intense heat of the place. The atmosphere at the registration area was electric as people queued up to get their race numbers and tickets to the carbo load dinner in the park that night.

I’m sure many people set personal records on the day, but for me I achieved making it to Penrith in 40 minutes, car park to registration in 5mins, through transition in 2 minutes, sprint to swim start in 3 minutes and dived into swim start with the whistle drawing very close to the starters lips just in time for race start.

Late last year Justin Betar decided to enter some events in the World Masters Games here in Sydney. He thought that his age might just get him in. As it turns out, the youngest competitor in the Games was 25 years and the oldest being 101 years, placing him closer in age to the 25 year old. The Games has a cracking motto “Fit, Fun, Forever Young”.
