Hi Everyone
First off, congrats to everyone who competed at Nationals. It
was another successful event for our members and it was great to
see so many of the Capital Coast Clubs represented.
A big thank you to all our supporters, helpers and other members
who helped make it a great weekend (shame the surf gods were a
little over zealous most of the weekend, not that I'm complaining
there was surf!).
Nationals 2013
In the Masters Arena, Paekakariki clubbie, David Jones won the
40 - 49yrs category. He was 2nd in the RSR,
1st in the Surf Race and 2nd in the
Ironman! A huge effort!
David was also part of the successful Paekakariki Ski Relay and
Taplin teams who were 3rd in the Ski Relay and
2nd in the Taplin. David was joined by Dwight
Garton and Shane Radovanovich.
Not to be outdone, Dwight managed 3rd in the 30
- 39yrs Beach Sprint. Go team!
Martin Robinson from Lyall Bay had a good day on the track too,
taking out the 50 - 59yrs Beach Sprint.
And back in the water, Palmerston North club members David
Pontin and John McKerras placed 2nd and
3rd respectively in their age groups for the Run
Swim Run. Great work, especially considering John is in his 70's.
Truly in it for life!
Lyall Bay had an outstanding event! The club finished
9th overall (ahead of some usually "heavy weight"
clubs) and an honourable mention should go to Teina Stacey, Trent
Luka, Jack Manners, Tom Oolders, Nico van der Wilt, James Moore,
Ben Manners, Hayley Cox, Karley Maxwell, Kate Nota, Kelsey Moffat
and Tori Watt. All these competitors medalled, some multiple times.
Awesome work!
Paekakariki were seen on the podium with Seth Forbes taking
silver in the U19 Mens Beach Flags and then being part of the
silver medal U19 Men Beach Relay team, made up of Tyler Cannell,
Tem Forbes and Kurtis Imrie.
Titahi Bay's usually strong Marty McDowell and Sam Blyde scored
a comprehensive win in the Open Mens Double Ski, while down in the
boat arena the U21 Women's Boat Crew made up of Bronagh Ryan,
Georgia McLaren, Grace Goodall, Jessica Cleland and Tim Marsden
(also known as Tim's Tarts) were elevated to a gold medal in the
Short Course Boat race after original winners Paekakariki were
disqualified on a technicality.
