Sunshine Coast Tri Academy (SCTA)

Sunshine Coast Tri Academy (SCTA) Sunshine Coast Tri Academy - www.scta.com.au

Since it's inception in 2002, Sunshine Coast Triathlon Academy's (SCTA) Coach and Founder Toby Coote has been guiding triathletes of all fitness levels to achieve outstanding progress, improvement and results. With his extradionary depth of experience, Toby is committed to providing individual training programs and advice to help athletes meet their specific training needs. Based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Toby formed SCTA to address the lack of available, quality training and triathlon coaching, and has now evolved into a fully integrated, multi-disciplined coaching service dedicated to the sport of triathlon. As a Triathlon Australia (TA) recognised Level 2 Triathlon Coach and appointed TA National Talent Identification and Development Program Regional Coach, Toby's sporting and coaching background can only described as impressive. In 1995, he reached the highest level any triathlete had achieved on the Sunshine Coast being named in the Australian Junior Elite Team for the World Championships to be held in Mexico. Progressing to the next level, he relocated to the Gold Coast to train and learn under master triathlon coach, Col Stewart, where he went on to race for six years as a professional triathlete. His philosophy now is not about competing for himself, but rather, developing and nurturing athletes on the beautiful Sunshine Coast and providing written programs to cater for athletes of all health and fitness levels.

SCTA May/June/July Athlete of the Month goes to Lauren Murphy for the time and patience that went into her Roth Ironman Campaign. From a large group that entered and was going to compete, she ended up being the sole Athlete that toed the line. There were a lot of highs and lows in this campaign, but we got her to the starting line in the best possible shape her body allowed us to do.

Unfortunately on race morning she woke up with a sore throat and was a little off, but Loz wanted to complete this iconic race and a bucket list for her. She still did a great job in trying conditions to finish in a time of 12:03:14

Lauren will receive a goodie bag from SCTA sponsors including a $50 gift voucher to Venture Cycles, a pair of Vorgee goggles and some Clifbar Australia products

A massive thanks to the SCTA Sponsors

The Sunshine Coast Tri Academy / Venture Cycles / McDonald’s Sunshine Coast Athlete of the month for April goes to Hannah Po***ck for her performance at the Oceania Continental Cup doubling as the Australia Elite Sprint Champs on the Gold Coast at the Luke Harrop Memorial. After narrowly missing Australia Junior Auto Qualifier at Oceania Junior Champs where she finished 3rd, the mission for Auto Selection was top 5 Elite and First Junior.

A strong swim set up for a good group to ride in and she pushed with some strong riders to bridge to the front pack including fellow training partner Sienna Carter. Onto the run and Hannah set a strong back end to come away with that 5th place and Auto Qualifier. After just missing out the past 2 years, it was awesome to cement her spot.

Hannah backed up the following week at the Oceania Super Sprint Champs on the Gold Coast. In the heat she was 5th and had to go into the semi final which she won and cemented a spot in the Final. It was a very competitive final where she was 9th.

Congrats Hannah. Well deserved. Hannah is currently in France racing in the Valence Division 1 Team where she is gaining valuable racing experience against some of the best Ladies in the World.

Hannah will receive a goodie bag from SCTA sponsors including a $50 gift voucher to Venture Cycles , a pair of Vorgee goggles and some CLIF Australia products

/ / McDonald’s Sunshine Coast March Athlete of the Month Award goes to Jude Brimelow for his performances at Australian Schools Triathlon Championships and Oceania Junior Championships

When talent meets confidence. What can I say the belief that he has gained this season and the way he is running off the bike was on full show in the “A” Final. To lift and go to another level. With 2 laps to go I said do you want a medal… it’s just there. That was enough to unleash the beast and land himself on the podium. The best ex*****on of a race to date.

There is so much potential here. His commitment and hard work over this season have allowed this result. Well done Jude. Proud of what you have shown this season. A testament to your character. Full results below from 4 days of racing backing up on the Tuesday post Oceania Junior Triathlon Championships where he placed 14th a massive leap from his 35th place the prior year. 

1st Place Aquathlon
2nd Place Single Leg Relay
1st Place Mixed Team Relay
4th Place Super Sprint Race 1
6th Place Super Sprint Race 2
3rd Place “A” Final - Bronze Australian Champs

Jude will receive a goodie bag from SCTA sponsors including a $50 gift voucher to Venture Cycles, a pair of Vorgee goggles and some Clifbar Australia products
