PATRON’S MESSAGE

Over the coming year the 2012 London Olympic games

will become the focus for the world’s elite triathletes.

The challenges of Olympic competition are indeed

formidable and as we have witnesses in recent ITU

events, there are now many countries producing

outstanding performances.

However, I am confident that Triathlon Australia will

ensure our Australian competitors receive the optimum

support and encouragement which they will need in

preparing to take on those challenges.

Immediately following the 2012 Olympics, all Olympic

Summer sports will come under review by the

International Olympic Committee, at which time one

sport may be excluded from the programme of the 2020

Games.

While I am confident that Triathlon will maintain its

place on the Olympic Programme there is still no time

for complacency. Triathlon must continue to strive for

excellence and continued improvement in the way it

conducts and presents itself to the public and to the

media.

Australia has always been at the forefront in both

performance and development of its triathletes. I trust

that Triathlon Australia will continue to work diligently

to maintain that high standard and in my role as Patron,

I personally wish Triathlon Australia, its officials and

athletes a very successful year ahead.

THE PATRON OF TRIATHLON AUSTRALIA

PRESIDENT’S REVIEW

THE PRESIDENT OF TRIATHLON AUSTRALIA

Mr Peter Hedge

The Board and management of Triathlon Australia continued to build the

foundations for the future of our sport during 2010/11. In doing so, we have

maintained our focus on the prudential management of our organisations finances,

listening to the needs of our members and representing our members best

interests on issues that matter most for the future of our sport.

I have listed below a number of more significant achievements during the year :-

The employment of our new CEO, Anne Gripper. Anne has provided revitalised leadership and guidance across all affili-ated associations and aspects of our sport since commencing in September 2010.

The launch of the Australian National Championship Series in February 2011. The series currently comprising Geelong, Mooloolaba and Sydney guarantees minimum prize money and Television coverage for our sport and was identified in our strategic planning process as a corner stone requirement for the development of our sport in Australia.

The successful submission to the Federal Government for funding to assist in our sport participation and development programmes. A grant of $250,000 was received

The successful submission to the Federal Government for additional funding for High Performance objectives. A grant of $400,000 over and above existing Federal funding assistance was received.

The Sydney ITU World Championship Series event was held in April 2011 and for the first time included Age Group par-ticipants. In a world first for our sport the event incorporated the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the bike leg.

The rearrangment of our High Performance staffing structure created the role of a National Performance Director which now reports directly to the National CEO of Triathlon Australia.

The introduction of an Annual Awards dinner for Triathlon in Australia which brought together representatives from every aspect of our sport at a Gala event held following the Sydney Championship event in April 2011.

The launch of an integrated Web site and database management system for our association nationally which may also be utilized by all affiliated triathlon associations and clubs across Australia to host their own individual sites and activi-ties.

The launch of our National Calendar of events in a format which is integrated in our web site with links to event organis-ers sites.

7

The completion of an improved event sanctioning processes and revised race rules, accessed through our national web portal, focused on ensuring the safety and fairness of events and competition within our sport.

The negotiated agreement with a number of private event organisers for them to provide preferred access to their Tri-athlon events for annual members of Triathlon Australia.

The convening of our second annual “Whole of sport” conference which this year will be focused on bringing together for the first time all club presidents from across Australia to further the participation and sport development objectives of our association.

In addition to the outcomes being achieved at an organisational level, our Australian athletes continued to dominate at an in-

ternational level across all disciplines and age-groups.

Details of outstanding individual performances are outlined in this annual report. It is however with great pride as an Australian

that I acknowledge the 2010 Ironman world champions Chris McCormack and Mirinda Carfrae, the 2010 ITU world champion

for the second year in a row, Emma Moffat, the 2010 ITU world under 23 champion, Emma Jackson, the 2010 ITU Junior world

champion, Ashleigh Gentle, the 2010 ITU world champion bronze medalist Brad Kahlefeldt, and the 2010 ITU grand final gold

medalist in Budapest, Emma Snowsill.

Our National Association plays an important role in representing the interests of our sport in Australia with the Olympic move-

ment and the Commonwealth Games.

This year saw the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in Singapore. Two outstanding young athletes represented our nation at

these games, Ellie Salthouse and Michael Gosman. Ellie came home with a silver medal and both Ellie and Michael brought a

silver medal home in the mixed team event.

London is now on the horizon and the Board is very conscious of ensuring our elite athletes have access to the support neces-

sary to provide them with every opportunity to succeed. The Australian Olympic committee and the Federal Government is a

source of ongoing support for our sport in this pursuit. As a sport we are grateful for that support.

The inclusion of Triathlon as an Olympic sport requires continual vigilance by our international sporting body, the International

Triathlon Union (ITU). Through the efforts of the ITU it was recently announced that Paratriathlon will be included in the Para-

lympics for Rio in 2016.

As President I have the privilege of representing Australia at the annual ITU conference which coincides each year with the

World Championships. Australia has also been privileged by having two representatives on the ITU Board. Bill Walker (Sydney

resident and a former president of Triathlon Australia)) is currently a vice president of the ITU and Jenny Mann (Adelaide resi-

dent) is a Board member. I extend our appreciation to both Bill and Jenny for their contribution.

The Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014 will again include Triathlon after having not been nominated as a sport in Delhi.

I currently represent Triathlon Australia on the Commonwealth Games board of management as Australia prepares for Glas-

gow. In addition I note a bid has been submitted for the Gold Coast to host the games in 2018 yet the outcome of that proposal

will not be known until later.

The association has worked hard this year to promote the interests of our annual members with event organisers. For many

years members have expressed their disappointment at being unable to enter significant events due to the entry process

adopted by private event organisers creating an insurmountable obstacle to event entry. I am pleased to note a number of

event organisers have listened to our representations and agreed to offer our annual members an opportunity to enter their

events before they open to the public at large. This recognition of our annual members by the private event organisers is great-

ly appreciated and your association will continue to represent members concerns in such areas.

There is of course so much more that has been achieved this year and so much more that has yet to be done. This annual re-

port however gives us an opportunity to pause and celebrate the progress and achievements that have been made through the

hard work of many volunteer members, executive staff, event organisers, athletes and other contributors to our sport who

have willingly invested time to build these foundations for Triathlon in Australia.

Many people are recognised and acknowledged in this Annual Report yet I would like to express my personal appreciation to

my fellow directors and executive staff from our national and state associations, and our affiliated club committees for their

support and contribution during the year.

It was with honour and anticipation that I commenced

in the role of Chief Executive Officer of Triathlon

Australia on 16th September 2010. This was exactly 10

years to the day after I had stood in the Botanic Gardens

of Sydney watching Michellie Jones do battle with

Brigitte McMahon in the opening event of the Sydney

Olympic Games – the Women’s Triathlon, on 16th

September 2000. 10 years ago, I felt proud that “my”

sport had been selected as the opening, showcase event

of the Sydney Olympics. 10 years later, I feel proud to

lead “my” sport into the next decade of its

development.

I was fortunate to commence in the role, well supported

by three important factors:

A professional, competency-based Board, elected in

November 2009 who had already achieved a significant

turnaround in the corporate governance of the

association prior to my arrival.

An experienced, member-focused group of State and

Territory Executive Officers who were enthusiastic

about working together as a team and pursuing a

national approach to the development of our sport.

A brand new

Strategic Plan for 2010 – 2015, developed in the early

part of 2010 in consultation with key stakeholders of

our sport. It was a plan with which I felt very aligned

and highly motivated to commence implementing.

My 2011 CEO report provides highlights of the year

under each of the Key Result Areas (KRAs) articulated in

our Strategic Plan. Those six KRAs are my daily guide – if

what I am doing does not contribute to the KRAs and

our long term strategy, then I have to question why I am

doing it.

ORGANISATIONAL EXCELLENCE

The financial position of the national association

continued to improve over the year, as we built on the

CEO REPORT

THE CHIEF EXCECUTIVE OFFICER OF TRIATHLON AUSTRALIA

Ms Anne Gripper

9

positive turnaround achieved by the Board and staff in

the previous year. As the 2011 Financial Statements

attest, Triathlon Australia is now in a healthy financial

position, with a prudential reserve which is well on the

way to achieving our aim of having an equivalent of

twelve months operating expenses in reserve.

Our investment in human resources during the year

included the appointment of Kate Gallop and Joelie

Chisholm to ongoing roles with the national association.

Joelie, a former Chief Financial Officer in Great Britain,

was engaged on a part-time basis as our National

Manager, Corporate Services while Kate, who had

already spent four months volunteering in the office as

the project officer for the Web / Database project was

engaged on a full time basis as a Project Coordinator.

Alex Fehon, National Manager, Participation and

Membership and Craig Redman, National Manager,

Athlete Development both continued to be employed on

a full-time basis. Michael Flynn and Shaun Stephens

continued to provide leadership of the High

Performance program through their employment at the

Australia Sports Commission. I thank all of the staff for

their enthusiasm and willingness to do whatever was

needed during the year.

Our office location in Mascot, with its close proximity to

Mascot Station and Sydney airport provided easy access

for staff, visitors and stakeholders. Our co-location with

Basketball Australia and “next door neighbour” location

with Cycling Australia, meant we felt part of a small

community of National Sporting Organisations.

Our office computing resources were upgraded during

the year with new desktops, a new server and a more

reliable service and maintenance arrangement with IT

service provider, Systemcraft Pty Limited.

The creation of several new Board subcommittees has

ensured that our activities are informed by a range of

perspectives, and driven by the expertise of those

appointed to the committees. During the year, the

following committees were in operation:

High Performance Committee

Elite Athlete Selection Committee

Age Group Committee

Age Group Selection Committee

Finance Committee

National Technical Committee

Sydney ITU World Championship Series Race

Committee

A comprehensive tender process for the provision of a

new, contemporary website and member registration

data base was undertaken by an appointed project team

during the year. Eleven tender responses were received,

and after careful consideration, Active Network Inc were

selected and appointed as Triathlon Australia’s

information technology partner. Representatives from

Active Network worked closely with our staff between

January and June to ensure the website and member

registration database were launched prior to the new

membership year.

We continue to benefit from an excellent relationship

with the Australian Sports Commission who were strong

supporters of our sport during the year. This

relationship was formalised in May 2011 by the signing

of a Sport Collaboration Agreement between our two

organisations. The Agreement provides for significant

financial support and professional expertise from the

ASC. I thank Melissa Backhouse as our Senior Sport

Partnership Manager at the ASC for facilitating this

excellent relationship.

The establishment of relationships with our key

stakeholder groups was a priority for me during the first

six months of my employment. I travelled to each state,

except NT, to meet the staff and Board of the State and

Territory Triathlon Associations. I also met with the

Australian Olympic Committee, the Australian Sports

Anti-Doping Agency and the Australian Commonwealth

Games Association to ensure productive ongoing

relationships. Event Organisers were invited to a

meeting on 19 May 2011 to discuss a range of issues of

relevance to them and to foster an ongoing sense of

cooperation between the national association and the

clubs and private event organisers who plan and conduct

races in which our members can compete.

PARTICIPATION

The announcement that triathlon was one of 23 sports

to be granted additional funding from the Australian

Sports Commission for participation initiatives was

recognition of our strong age group tradition and our

(Continued on page 10)

10

ability to attract and retain people of all ages and

abilities to the sport of triathlon. The additional funding

was conditional upon the development and acceptance

of a Participation Plan for 2011 to 2016. The plan was

developed and endorsed in June 2010. Key elements of

the plan, to be implemented over the next five years

are:

The continuation and enhancement of existing

participation activities such as the Active After Schools

Communities program, the training and accreditation of

Level 0 and Level 1 coaches, the training and

accreditation of technical officials, the provision of

novice skills development programs by clubs and the

preparation of an age group team for ITU World

Championship events.

The creation of two new participation programs:

Trystars for young participants, and

Try-a Tri for adult participants

The new programs will be developed nationally,

supported by high quality resources and delivered

locally through triathlon clubs and other accredited

service providers.

Additional human resources at the national and state

level to develop and enhance participation

opportunities.

During the year we continued to invest resources in the

provision of services to our age group athletes including

the selection, preparation and support of age group

teams at ITU World Championship events. Full details of

Age group activities can be found later in this report.

MEMBERSHIP

The aim of our Membership Key Result Area is to grow

membership by increasing the number of new members

and retaining existing members. The introduction of the

new member database in June 2011 provides an

enhanced member interface with our national and state

associations. Most importantly, it will enable the

collection and collation of reliable membership data.

In addition to our eight State and Territory Association

members, 9735 individual members joined Triathlon

Australia during the year. This was a 20% increase on

the 8089 individual members of the previous year. For

the first time, priority member-only periods of race

entry ensured that annual members of the association

had the opportunity to secure entry to popular events

which sell out quickly when opened to the general

population.

Discussions with the State and Territory Triathlon

Associations about moving to a model of national

membership progressed steadily during the latter part

of the year. I feel confident that with some further

thinking and development, an alternative approach to

membership will be implemented prior to the 2012-

2013 membership year.

The introduction of a four tier structure for One Day

Memberships, based on the nature and length of the

race ensured that the costs of running our association

are more fairly shared between annual and one day

members.

EVENTS

The provision of a broad range of sanctioned events for

members is a key priority of the association. From

enticer novice events, through sprint and olympic

distance to half and full iron distance races, our

members had 483 sanctioned races from which to

choose during the year. Notably, the Weetbix Kids

Tryathlon Series and the BRW Corporate Series

continued to offer excellent “front doors” to our sport

for participants and their supporters. These series

attracted 16,000 and 11,000 participants respectively.

The Australian National Triathlon Championship Series

was launched in 2010, comprising three premier, high

quality races held in Geelong, Mooloolaba and Sydney.

Each of these races combined Elite and Junior ITU points

races, with a large scale age group race. Each of the

races in the National Championship Series offered

significant prizemoney and live television coverage. To

add to the international prestige of the Series, the

Mooloolaba race was awarded the right to host the

opening race of the 2010 ITU World Cup Series. The

Sydney race was granted the right to be the opening leg

of the ITU’s top tier race series - the ITU Dextro Energy

World Championship Series.

The National Technical Committee provided excellent

leadership and direction to ensure the safety and

fairness of triathlon events in Australia. During the year

they led substantial reviews of the Sanctioning

Documents and the Race Competition Rules. Trained

and accredited Technical Officials were on duty at every

11

sanctioned race. I appreciate particularly the tireless

efforts of Jacqui Kenny as Chair of the National Technical

Committee and the enthusiasm with which members of

the committee embrace the critical role which they fulfil

for our sport.

HIGH PERFORMANCE

Our elite athletes continued to perform well on the

world stage. Their performances are highlighted in this

report.

Triathlon was one of 26 sports designated by the

Australian Sports Commission as “high priority” which

resulted in the securing of $400k additional funding for

High Performance per annum. The receipt of the

additional funding was conditional on the development

of a comprehensive High Performance Plan for 2011 to

2016. The plan was developed and accepted in May

2011.

In order to ensure our High Performance Plan reflected

our aim of “sustained international success”, an external

review of the structure of the high performance

program was undertaken in December 2010.

Recommendations from the review resulted in a number

of key changes to the structure and management of the

program including:

The secondment of Michael Flynn from the AIS to

Triathlon Australia as our National Performance

Director.

The establishment of a National Centre of Excellence on

the Gold Coast to operate as a camps based training and

sport sciences services centre.

The establishment of a National Talent Academy to be

coordinated by Craig Redman as National Manager,

Athlete Development and managed on a daily basis

across four geographical areas by four National Talent

Coaches.

BRAND

The development of our new website was a significant

step forward in promoting our brand and the value it

offers to the triathlon and general community. The

website will enable much better communication with

our members, our key stakeholders and the broader

triathlon community. It will form an excellent platform

from which to promote and increase the profile of our

sport to potential partners and sponsors.

Ian Hanson of Hanson Media Group was engaged during

the year to increase the profile of the sport through the

mainstream and sport specific media. Relationships

were maintained with the three major triathlon printed

magazines and principal on-line news providers. Regular

newsletters and newsflashes kept members informed of

triathlon news.

Our inaugural “Celebration of Champions” Awards

Dinner was held following the Sydney World

Championship Series race on 10th April. At the dinner,

we recognized and celebrated our five reigning World

Champions and reigning Olympic Champion in front of

220 members of the triathlon community. We were

proud that the Federal Minister for Sport, Senator Mark

Arbib and the Federal Leader of the Opposition, the

Honourable Tony Abbott joined us at the dinner. We

were also delighted to welcome triathlon legends John

McLean and Dave Orlowski to Sydney for the evening’s

celebrations.

SUMMARY

I believe we made good progress on a number of

important areas for our sport during 2010-2011. The

year provided a mixture of new initiatives and

consolidation of existing activities. In particular, the

development of our five year plans for High Performance

and Participation will ensure those areas of our Strategic

Plan have a strong foundation for future development.

I would like to finish by acknowledging the absolute

commitment of our national Board to the development

of the sport of triathlon in Australia. Over the year, they

have spent many hours in face to face meetings and

teleconferences. Their thoughtful leadership and careful

stewardship have increased the stability of the sport and

identified new opportunities, enabling the sport to

develop and flourish. Peter Hedge is truly dedicated

President who gave up much of his personal, training

and business time over the year to assist me in my

understanding of the key issues facing the sport and our

association. I thank Peter for his wise and consistent

counsel throughout the first year of my employment

I have enjoyed, and been challenged by my first year in

the role, and I look forward to continue leading triathlon

into the future.

MESSAGE FROM

THE AUSTRALIAN SPORTS COMMISSION

The countdown to an Olympic and Paralympic Games is an exciting time for Australians. As London 2012 looms on our horizon there is much work to be done to fine tune our preparations.

The Australian Government and the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) continue to work closely with Olympic and Paralympic sports, along with the Australian Olympic and Paralympic Committees to ensure our athletes get the best possible support.

Through the Green and Gold project, $3.85 million in extra funding has been provided for our top Olympic athletes and teams to boost their training and preparations for London 2012.

A true sign that Australian sport is united in working together is the endorsement from the Commonwealth, State and Territory Governments of the National Sport and Active Recreation Policy Framework.

What this means is that for the first time all governments have agreed on priorities for sport.

Underpinning the Framework is the new National Institutes System Intergovernmental Agreement which unites our National Institutes of Sport and national sporting organisations to work hand-in-hand to achieve common national high performance objectives to maximise resourcing and expertise in support of the development of world class athletes to achieve international success.

This Framework is supported by significant additional investment in sport by the Australian Government. The 2011-

12 Budget will provide $300 million to support the full spectrum of sport from grass roots through to elite competition.

Support by the Australian Government will enable a more

collaborative long term focus to drive reform within Australian

sport and importantly make the connection between

Australian’s standing on the podium and young Australians

participating in sport.

This is an exciting and challenging time for Australian sport.

The Australian Sports Commission looks forward to working

with all sporting organisations, the state and territory

institutes and academies of sport and state and territory

departments of sport and recreation, to promote access to,

and participation in, sport across the community and support

Australia’s continued sporting success.

Highlights from the Australian Capital Territory included:

The support and cooperation shown by the ACT Government and the National Capital Authority (NCA) in working with TACT to provide alternative race venues where possible and in clearing the lake of de-bris at our race venue for the January events.

The positive contribution and continuing support by the club presidents and their committees. This in-cluded a strategic planning session in relation to the forward race calendar, where it was decided to consolidate the triathlon race program in 2011/ 2012 across four weekends, include running and cycling events in those weekends and have contingency courses in place for all triathlon races. The aims were to maximise racing opportunities whilst reducing the volunteer workload, encourage participation through partnership with the running and cycling communities and ensure that events were held as scheduled.

The allocation by Triathlon Australia of the Australian Sprint Distance Triathlon Championships to Can-berra for 2011, 2012 and 2013.

The hard work by the TACT general manager, Mathieu Meriaux and the office staff, and maintaining the great relationships developed with the ACT Government, the NCA and Triathlon Australia.

Our sport remained in the top tier of sports by ACT Sport and Recreation and received an increase in the triennial grant – this is in recognition of the high quality of governance and management by the TACT office and TACT committees.

The recognition by national performance program coaches of the quality and success of the ACT Junior Development Program and the efforts of Corey Bacon, his coaches and the young athletes in the pro-gram.

During the year, our elite athletes produced outstanding results as follows

Emma Moffatt - 2010 ITU World Champion

Emma had another great year to back up her 2009 World Championship victory. She raced 8 major races with a top 3 finish in

six major races, which included a 2nd place in the ITU WCS final in Budapest. Emma did not finish out of the top 10 in any race.

Emma Jackson - 2010 ITU World under 23 Champion

Emma was still eligible for the ITU Junior racing in 2010. However,she had a very good year in which she showed that in the

near future she will be performing against the best females in the world. Her efforts in three ITU WCS races gave notice of

much better things to come. In extremely poor conditions in Budapest, Emma showed her class in the ITU U23 Championships

with a great swim to set up a super run leg to finish nearly 60 seconds ahead of her nearest competitor.

Ashleigh Gentle – 2010 ITU Junior Champion

Ashleigh achieved a stunning victory in the ITU Junior World Championship race, with an impressive run leg, to dominate the

World Championships. Her victory capped of a superb history of junior results for Ashleigh as she had previously been a silver

medallist in this event.

Emma Snowsill – 2010 ITU WCS Final winner

After a challenging year with sickness and other concerns, Emma finished the year as she had started it with a great victory in

the Budapest race to add to her excellent victory in the Hy- Vee race earlier in the year. Emma showed the Triathlon world that

in her best form she is still the athlete that all female athletes should gauge themselves against.

Brad Kahlefeldt – 2010 ITU WCS Bronze medallist

Brad again had another very consistent year with a 5th place finish in the ITU WCS final with 7 other top 10 finishes including a

win at the ITU Mooloolaba World Cup and a podium finish in the ITU WCS Seoul race.

Chris McCormack and Mirinda Carfrae – 2010 Ironman Champions

Chris and Mirinda showed the world just what outstanding athletes they are this year. Their winning performances in the 2010

World Ironman Championships in Hawaii following on from their previous performances should make the Australian triathlon

community proud. Chris and Mirinda lead our Australian long distance athletes who continue to show the rest of the world the

calibre of athletes which Australia has produced. Congratulations to all of them.

2010 ITU BUDAPEST WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS

37

The inaugural Youth Olympic Games (YOG) was con-

ducted in Singapore from 14th to 26th August 2010.

3,600 athletes aged from 14 to 18 years participated in

26 sports. Triathlon consisted of 32 males and 32 fe-

males aged 17 or 18 as at 31 December 2010.

The maximum number of athletes any NOC can field in

the YOG Triathlon is one male and one female. The

YOG Oceania qualifier was conducted in Canberra, ACT

on Saturday 23rd January 2010. It is worth noting that

the ITU awarded one male and one female automatic

performance spot to the Oceania region. Therefore

Australia was racing New Zealand for the sole auto-

matic Oceania spot.

Ellie Salthouse (QLD) and Michael Gosman (ACT) were

successful in gaining the Oceania spot for the 2010

YOG and were subsequently nominated by TA to the

AOC. They were the first athletes across all sports to

have their membership to the AOC YOG Team con-

firmed.

Women’s Race - 750m Swim/20km Bike/5km Run

The women’s triathlon commenced at 9am on day 1 of

competition. As the women’s triathlon event was the

first medal event of the inaugural YOG it had a large

media interest and was attended by senior AOC staff

including the Chef de Mission - Nick Green, AOC Direc-

tor of Sport - Fiona de Jong and AOC Secretary General

- Craig Phillips. Ellie after a slow start in the swim pow-

ered through the bike and run to win the silver medal

and kick start the Olympic program. This was an out-

standing result for Ellie in her first international event

and she pushed the much more experienced Japanese

athlete (5 x Dextro ITU World Championships Series

Starts) all the way to the finish.

2nd - Ellie Salthouse (Brisbane, QLD). Coached by War-

wick Dalziel

Men’s Race - 750m Swim/20km Bike/5km Run

Michael did not have a great start losing his goggles as

he dived into the water and was subsequently at the

rear of the field early in the swim. A bunch of 8-10 ath-

letes came out of the water and went up the road on

the bike. Michael missed this pack and was caught do-

ing most of the work in the chase pack along with an

athlete from South Africa. The lead pack gained 45-

50seconds on the first lap, had a 60second lead on se-

cond lap and blew out to 1min 40seconds by the end

of the bike. All in all Michael was happy with his 12th

position and race and learnt a lot from his first interna-

tional race. Michael went on the finish 2nd at the ITU

World Duathlon Championships in Scotland and 13th

at ITU World Triathlon Championships in Budapest.

12th - Michael Gosman (Canberra, ACT). Coached by

Darren Smith

The event also included a mixed teams triathlon relay

4 x (250m Swim/7km Bike/1.7km Run).The Australians

and New Zealand athletes teamed up to form the Oce-

ania Team. Team Oceania lead off with Ellie Salthouse

(AUS), then Michael Gosman (AUS), followed by Mad-

die Dillon (NZL) & Aaron Barclay (NZL).The race was

decided by a sprint between Team Oceania 1 & Team

Europe 1. Team Oceania finished with a well-deserved

silver medal.

2011 was the inaugural year of the new Australian National Triathlon Championship Series (ANTCS). The series was comprised of 3 premier, high quality events:

Geelong – Elite Sprint and Age Group Olympic Distance Triathlon – 19-20th February 2011 Mooloolaba – Elite and Age Group Olympic Distance Triathlon – 26-27th March 2011 Sydney – Elite and Age Group Olympic Distance Triathlon – 10th April 2011

The ANTCS was designed to be the premier race series for Triathlon Australia members. Members were offered guaranteed entry to all three races if they entered via the ‘Three race series’ entry pro-cess. At the Elite level, the series offered high quality sprint and olympic distance races, providing signifi-cant prize money, ITU ranking points and live television coverage. The Mooloolaba event was desig-nated as the Australian Elite and Age Group National Olympic Distance Championships. Mooloolaba hosted two ITU points races - the opening race in the ITU World Cup series and an ITU Continental Cup race. The Sydney race had the honour of being designated the opening leg of the ITU Dextro Energy World Championship Series. For age group athletes, the series offered points that would determine the National Series Champi-on in each age group, and contribute to qualification for the 2011 Australian Age Group team at the Triathlon Olympic Distance World Championships in Beijing. The series winners were recognised and presented at the Celebration of Champions Awards Dinner, held on the evening of the final Sydney race. Winners of the 2010-2011 Australian National Triathlon Championship Series can be found in this report.

CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES

2010 saw the launch of the Australian National Duathlon Series featuring 8 high quality duathlon events hosted by

each state and territory across Australia.

The Series aims to create an Australia wide competition which provides opportunity for Duathlon competitors to

travel and experience a wide variety of courses and conditions.

Participants in the series accrued points to determine the Australian Duathlon Series Champion in each age group.

Points accrued during the series were also used to determine qualification for the Australian Age Group team for

the ITU Duathlon World Championships.

In 2010 the series attracted some high profile athletes, and received a lot of positive feedback due to the quality of

event conditions and the high level of competition.

Race reports all had a common theme to them; stating that each event provided an excellent course and the major-

ity of competitors had a great day out with elite duathletes indicating that they were looking forward to the events

of next season.

The following 8 events made up the 2010 Australian Duathlon Series:

2010 NATIONAL DUATHLON SERIES

Another season of solid racing from Australia’s most talent juniors continued throughout the 2011 summer national se-ries. The racing kicked off with the 2XU Super Sprint Race Weekend in December where the event was hammered by electrical storms with lightening, wind and rain. This followed with the Devonport Triathlon where most of Northern Tasmania, Victo-ria and Southern NSW were hit with massive floods. The water quality and debris/flooding in the Mersey River turned the Devonport race into a duathlon. Then onto Geelong for the 2011 Australian ITU Junior Champi-onships in February where gale force winds forced the post-

ponement of all events to the Sunday. To top the series off all athletes were facing a tsunami warning on the morning of the ITU Oceania Championships in Wellington, New Zealand – What a Year! The series winners are determined by a point score based on the athletes best three results out of the four national series events for ITU Junior Men and after consideration by the TA Board the ITU Junior Women’s race in Devonport was declared a non-event therefore the best two result from three races counted towards the series winner in the junior women. The 2011 Australian Junior Triathlon Series consisted of the following four events:

SERIES POINTSCORE

In the ITU Junior Men’s Series, Scott Llewellyn dominated the series winning the first three races to take an unbeatable lead and has wrapped up the point score prior to the final race. Jack Hickey (NSW) hung tough in Wellington to grab enough points to finish second overall while Marcel Walkington (VIC) on 20points and the consistent Brayden Tucker (QLD) also on 20 points tied for 3rd place. In fifth place with 19 points was Kenji Nener (WA) followed by Dylan Evans (TAS) on 17 points then Matt Brown (QLD), Braden Ludlow (NSW), James Chronis (VIC) and Shane Farrant (ACT) round out the top ten. Youth Olympic Games Silver Medalist Ellie Salthouse (QLD) won the series by 1 point from reigning Australian ITU Junior Cham-pion, Tamsyn Moana-Veale (NSW) with Ashlee Bailie (WA) only 1 point further back in third place. Natalie Van Coevorden made a late charge with her second place in Wellington to take fourth place in the series, followed by Mikayla Nielsen (NZL), then Brittany Forster (QLD) in sixth place. Maddison Allen (QLD) and Amy Roberts (QLD) tied for seventh, then Brigitte Fischer (QLD) and Jaz Hedgeland (WA) round out the top ten.

CELEBRATION OF CHAMPIONS AWARDS DINNER

2011 saw the launch of the inaugural Annual Awards

dinner. The dinner was held at the Intercontinental

Hotel in Sydney on the evening of Sunday 10th April

2011, following the Dextro Energy Triathlon ITU

World Championships Series opening race and final

race of the Australian National Triathlon Champion-

ship Series for Age Group athletes.

This theme of the evening was the ‘Celebration of

Champions’, and featured a celebration of Austral-

ia’s six reigning World and Olympic champions:

Emma Snowsill

Emma Moffatt

Emma Jackson

Ashleigh Gentle

Mirinda Carfrae

Chris McCormack

The night incorporated the annual awards for our

Elite athletes; crowned our new Australian Series

Champions; and recognised our Age Group World

Champions and Junior Series Champions.

Winners of our Elite annual awards were:

• Emma Jackson – winner of the Chris Hewitt Emerg-

ing Athlete award

• Emma Moffatt & Emma Snowsill – winners of the

Female Individual Performance of the Year award

43

• Chris McCormack – winner of the Male Individual

Performance of the Year award

• Mirinda Carfrae – winner of the Athletes Athlete of

the Year award

In attendance were special VIP guests including Feder-

al Minister for Sport, The Honourable Mr Mark Arbib,

Leader of the Opposition, The Honourable, Mr Tony

Abbott, NSW Minister for Sport, The Honourable Mr

Graham Annesley MP, and key representatives from

the International Triathlon Union, the Australian

Olympic Committee, and the Australian Sports Com-

mission.

Some of the world’s top triathletes attended including

New Zealand’s Ms Andrea Hewitt and Great Britain’s

Mr Alistair Brownlee, and the full Australian Elite

team that had raced that weekend.

Several of Australia’s former World Champions includ-

ing Ms Jackie Fairweather, Mr Craig Alexander, Mr

Miles Stewart, and Mr Peter Robertson were amongst

the 220 guests present to celebrate the success of Tri-

athlon in Australia.

Key table sponsors of the dinner were Active Net-

work, Urban Hotel Group, and USM Events.

A silent auction was held on the night to raise money

for two very worthy causes, The John Mclean Founda-

tion, and the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. The

auction items were the iconic Australian ‘green and

gold’ race suite; two male suits signed by Brad Kahle-

feldt, Courtney Atkinson, and Brendan Sexton and

two female suits signed by Emma Moffatt, Emma

Snowsill, Emma Jackson and Ashleigh Gentle. The auc-

tion raised a total amount of $4,000 to split between

the charities.

It was a night of great entertainment, awards and cel-

ebration for our guests from the international and

Australian triathlon and sport communities, and a

night that will be built upon for future years.
