Rockingham Tri March 4th
Fantastic conditions greeted the EFS athletes at the Trievents Rockingham  Pursuit series # 4. Sunny, a high tide, no wind ...just perfect.The big turnout ensured you had to know your wave start time and the course was full of spectators. The long weekend drew some to Albany but many had decided to race local.


Those racing from EFS were in the various Age Groups with all having some strong swims and a 50 mtr wade to the beach before getting into T1.  Then a fast bike course awaited and it was fast with bike speeds  hitting mid 45kph ++ out there within the open field division.
Solid bikes saw all coming into the run under control for a fast flat 5 km through the crowd as a 1 loop course. Big win to Audrey in her age group set the bench mark for the other girls if they want to get near her at IM
All of the others- Gary, Chris,Andrew,Bob and Tracy, Janet all raced well --with their sights  firmly on May and Busso 70.3 this was always going to be an interesting race day  and recovery test. The 2 Marks battled out the short course bragging rights with today  Marky Marky being the man....
