Friday 19th November, Zeebar, Broome

Broome Tri Club members turned up in droves to the annual Broome Sports Awards to celebrate four fabulous nominations for the Club and several of its triathlon crazed members. With thirty seven exceptional nominations it was a great night full of excitement and lots of clapping!

We even boasted a Commonwealth Games champion amongst us, with Javelin Silver medallist, Kim Mickle as the Guest of Honour. Kim inspired many laughs with her stories of resilience and success (even if they were a little long), but it was the local heroes who stole the show.

In the first category Broome Tri Club was represented by our fearless leader Steve Graham amongst elite sporting company in the Club Sports Award. The deserving winners were Broome Saints Football Club winning several premierships and developing their own international community aid program…what can we say?

Steve then made another trip up to the podium as he was deservedly nominated for Volunteer of the Year and yielded great cheers from the ‘rowdy’ Broome Tri Club table, but to no avail.

Sports Star of the Year was sure to be a winner by our over achieving Ironman competitors Michelle Wall and Tim Rowe. For goodness sake, they completed a course of 226 kilometres in ONE race. That is the same distance from Broome to Derby, and these guys are still alive!

In fact, one was not enough for hardened veteran of the sport Tim Rowe, so he had to compete in three Ironmen and one Half Ironman race in the last 11 months just to be sure he could make the distance. He may be a little slow…

And you all thought we were crazy doing sprint distance triathlons twice a month in Broome?

To top off the night all nominees went home with a framed Broome Sports Awards certificate and of course, some fabulous memories. No doubt they will all head straight to the Pool Room.

You won’t laugh when you realise each and every one of those certificates where placed in their frames by no less than 2000 Sydney Olympic Games Gold medallist Simone Fountain (Woman's Waterpolo fame). Like I said, we were in great company!

Thanks to everyone who came to have a few beers and celebrate our great achievements in 2010! We hope to see you all there again next year, plus a few more recruits!

2012 'HEALTHWAY' CABLE BEACH TRIATHLON - SUNDAY 9 SEPTEMBER - MORE DETAILS TO FOLLOW

__________________________________________

'Be Active' Cable Beach Triathlon 2011

Main Event (Sprint and Enticer Distances) - Cable Beach Sunday 21 August 2011

Cable Beach looked glorious and the ocean temperature was 24 degrees. What better way to start the 2011 Cable Beach Triathlon on Sunday 21 August 2011. Although numbers were slightly down, the Sprint course saw double the competitors of the Enticer course showing that most participants were keen to try the ‘real’ distance of a triathlon. The field was full of quality athletes with some triathletes travelling from Victoria, Perth and Kununurra.

The swim leg was fast and straight as the new course took advantage of the northern current and beautiful flat water. The new bike leg had less turns and directed athletes out to Gubinge road before a tight turn around on Gantheume Point Road and back (of course the ‘sprint’ distance did this course twice). The run was familiar with those that had competed before and the water station midway was greatly appreciated as the temperatures started rising.
