We had our athletes racing at Desaru 70.3 and Desaru sprint last weekend with some standout performances.
Nico Ng won his age group in a time of 4.27. Nico showed how much he has improved with this performance where he was 7th in his AG for the swim, 2nd for the bike and 1st on the run. Nico has worked hard this year and this dedication and specific preparation for this race showed in the top performance.
Andrew Patterson raced Desaru 70.3 for his 5th time, and finally got a podium (3rd place) in a time of 4.50 and along with that scored a slot in his 7th World Champs - this time in Chattanooga, TN. He was 6th in the swim for his AG, 5th on the bike and 2nd on the run, missing 1st on the run by 19 seconds!
Chong Yuan Tan finished in a time of 5.02 leaving him 8th overall in his age group. He was unfortunate to have a crash on the bike with a nasty cut. This did not deter him and he recorded the 5th fastest age group run. Super performance.
Kyle Chong completed his first 70.3 in Desaru in 5.03 - 1st in his AG for the swim, 15th for the bike, and 9th for the run - this in the fastest age group of 30-34. Super proud of him with this achievement, which was a last-minute registration by the way. If he keeps this up heโll be in great shape for his full in December. Go Kyle!
On Saturday in the sprint race Peter Ferguson raced his first triathlon. He has worked hard to get swim ready over the past few months and he got through the tough swim conditions, and had an excellent bike and run. Well done for your first triathlon. Next up is an OD!.
