This weekend saw the season opener of the 2xu Triathlon series at Elwood. Due to rain in the days before the swim was cancelled and replaced by a short fast 1.3 km run. Head coach Jason Shields led the way taking out 1st place in the highly competitive 40-44 year A/G as well as a top 20 overall. In Bendigo Markcus Brown took line honors at the Trex Cross Tri. Massive congratulation as this was his first triathlon win. It been a long time coming but I'm sure it won't be his last. Then in true Markcus Brown style, he backed it up with a 2nd place half marathon the next day. Finally, the girls did us proud in Yarrawonga with Wendy Mchugh taking out a 3rd place for the half marathon and our new edition to the Squad Lauren Kelly picking up a 3rd in the 7km.
