Sunday saw the fast and furious Australian Mixed Team Relay Championships with 2 males and 2 females from each state combining in relay format over a 300m swim, 5.8km cycle & 1.5km run.
The VIC Team A (Nick Frisby, Charlotte McShane, Tomm Jansen, Lucinda Rourke) was in the mix all day and finished a gallant fifth to super strong teams from QLD & NSW.
Special mention to former TVDP athletes Jess Ewart-Murphy or Kurt McDonald who finished fifth and eighth in their respective elite categories.
Not to miss out on the action, Pathway Coaches spent the Saturday afternoon attending a collaborative PD session with the Triathlon Australia High Performance team and it was fantastic to see VIC Coaches Kyle Burns, Danielle Stefano, Adam Beckworth and Sam Janssen contribute and participate to this well attended and received educational event.
