Congratulations to Phil Davies who took his racing to The Next Level with a Silver medal in the Sprint distance and a Gold to be World Champion in the standard distance ITU Age Group Worlds. Add those to his bronze at the World 70.3 champs and he has a complete collection. Well done also to Charles Ellis who also won Silver in the Standard distance event in a time of 1.57. It was a week of highs and lows with Hannah Hammill crashing and breaking a collarbone in the Sprint distance event when moving into the top twenty at the end of the bike leg. Bill Thornbury, Julie Bonato and Sue Debrosses and Deepak Raj all raced above themselves in their events also.

With a dozen athletes racing at the Noosa running festival I was glad to be back to some better running form with a 1.21 half marathon closely followed by Deepak, Brian, Phil, and Luke. We set out to average 3.50 pace and I was happy to come in with a 3.49 average and mission accomplished. There were 6 personal records broken by Next Level Athletes and 4 podium finishers.
