WE HAVE ANOTHER WORLD CHAMPION AND HIS NAME IS MARONEY
Engadine Tri Club legend Mick Maroney claimed two age group world championships in the 40–44 age group on the Gold Coast last week. His first was in the World Aquathon Championships and his second was in the World Sprint Triathlon Championships on Sunday September 13, 2009. In a pleasing twist of fate for Maroney, the Head Swim Coach of the Maroney Swim Team at Engadine Leisure Centre, where a who’s who of local triathletes train, he achieved his second world championship on his birthday.
Fellow club legend Jenny Henville fell short by 35 seconds on claiming a World Sprint Triathlon Championship having to settle for second place in an outstanding effort in the female 45–49 age group. She also blitzed the Aquathon with a similar result. Well done Jenny. Corrie Rowlands also achieved a top ten placing coming 8th in the 30-34 age group. Fellow club members Hayden Gage, Liam Rapley, George Mifsud and Peter Rox also competed proudly representing their respective countries.
Further to these outstanding efforts, it is not over for Engadine Tri Club yet with Anthony Parker off to the World Long Course Triathlon Championships in Perth and club stalwarts Chris Southwell and Michelle Cochrane of to the famed World Ironman Championships in Kona, Hawaii next month.
Neil will email individually all those people who have not picked up their club uniforms yet and they will be available for pick up at the club tri this Sunday. After this event all unclaimed uniforms will go back into the general pool for other members. New members please note we will have some uniform stuff available on the day so please let me know by return email what size you are and ill see what we have to offer. We must get exposure for our sponsors as much as possible this up coming season as they give us thousands of their hard earned dollars.

Busso Half – On the same day as club champs our serious artillery went over to Perth and had a dig at the Busso Half IM. Chris Stanton, on Jason Cain’s bike managed to get 9th outright in a time of 4:11 and a bit. Rob Hurley, also smashed the course up, getting 35th overall in a time of 4:23 and blowing the demons away. Well done guys and good to see you starting to come into some form for December’s club events.
Six Foot Track Marathon – The toughest marathon in Australia – Katoomba to Jenolan caves, 45k of off road torture. To understand how tough this race is, only two people in the race beat 3hrs 30 minutes and only 17 people beat 4 hours. We had 3 folk go up the hill, Karen Malone, nailing it 6 hrs 28 minutes, Mark Warzuger smashing out a 5 hrs 32 minute effort and Mick Campbell toying with the Pluviometer coming in for 6hrs and 6 minutes. Well done folks and if Ironman isn’t enough for some of you folk, go speak to Karen, Mark or Mick about a day out in the mountains. Total respect for completing this event.
Engadine goes International – laying the foundations for Chris Stantons impending visit to Ironman Japan, we had more members than you can poke a stick at go of to the Paris of the Sth Pacific, Nouvelle Calodonie and do the Noumea Olympic Distance Triathlon. They included Mick Hurley, Jo Southwell, Kim and Steve Tudjman. On top of that Janice Meers, Chris Southwell and Bob Southwell all won their age groups. There were also a heap of supporters over there so well done all and I think we may have a few extras do this next year.
APRIL 12 2008
The big dance – we had four members go to Port Macquarie Ironman last weekend. John Hamerslag came out of retirement, overcoming a career ending injury to smash the toughest Ironman Course in Australia pumping out a 14:06:22. Well done, John.
Slippery Morris, doing his third Ironman in 12 months, pb’ed the course. Like last year, where the marshalls forced him to do a 3rd lap of the swim which severely affected his time, he again had to overcome more adversity. This year, he was subjected to mechanical failure on his bike in the Bonnie Hills and rather than doing a Macca or Norman Stadler and walking of the course, he elected to push his bike for 28kms back into Port where he then went out and nailed the run, pumping out a very respectable 12:45:46. Well done, Steve.
Stephen Tudjman, look, there is a lot of rumour and innuendo about Tudj’s performance at Ironman and the fact that he doesn’t train. Well that is just a myth and completely untrue. Tudj did train for Ironman this year, I know it as fact he did one session only, it was 3 weeks prior to the race where he swam 400mtrs, followed by a 2k run, followed by another 400mtr swim into a final 2k run. He then went and did Ironman nailing it in 15:52:56. And lets not forget what he picked up Monday night after Port, no, not what you’re all thinking, he picked up a Five Times Australian Ironman Finishers Medal. Well done Steve, sensational effort.
Which leaves the man who has finished 4 Ironmans in 12 months, Matt Griffin who terrorized the course, treating the bike with utter contempt, coming home in 10:10:30. He was heard to cross the line saying “that was for pixie”. I don’t know what it meant, but you can do what you want when you do your 4th Ironman in a year, your slowest being 10:23 and you break 10 hours twice. Well done Matt.
Lastly, thanks to all those members of the club that went up and supported the members going round, it was great to see you there and be part of the Ironman experience. We already have a quite a few members putting their hands up for IMWA in December and Port 09 so if you haven’t experienced IM, nows the time.
MARCH 1 2008
Ironman NZ was today and Matt Griffin went sub 10 for the second time since December in an IM, well done Matt. Also a big congratulations to Glenn and Michelle Cochrane, Paul Donoghue, his partner, Deb Clemments and Kerrie Small who all went round at IMNZ as well. It was a very windy and blowy race so congratulations to all for covering the distance in such conditions.
DECEMBER 12 2007 IMWA – well done to our club members who went over there and most smashed PB’s over the distance with Matt Griffin crossing the line in Sub 10hrs. Everyone looked sensational crossing the line on ironmanlive including Ben Sadlier, Joel McMahon, Slip Morris, Pete McDonnell, Cam James and Mark Warzunger. A valiant effort for Darren Matthews who paid the price for the distance and had to withdraw mid race. 5 November 2007
Congratulations to Stephen Tudjman, Bob Meers, Anthony Corr and John Hammerslag for nailing the toughest Half Ironman in Australia at Port Macquarie on the weekend. Further congratulations to Elaine Bolton, Darren Matthews and Donna Lloyd on completing Australia’s most popular triathlon, Noosa. Congratulations to Liam Rapley who came second in the Sri Chinmoy 8km at Beatty Reserve who did a lightening 31:16.
29 October 2007
A big weekend of racing with the State Junior Series at Gunnedah and the Nowra Olympic and Miniman triathlons put on by http://www.eliteenergy.com.au/ .
Whilst I don’t have the results of Gunnedah yet, I do have the results from Nowra.
My unnamed sources have advised that Matt Harris commentated the race and said the new gear looked great and gave plenty of plugs to our sponsors and the club which was great to hear from those down there.
Further to this, in the main event, we had Bob Meer’s win his age group and he now leads that age group in the Australian Olympic Distance Triathlon Series – he is currently the best in the land – well done Bob.
First home from the club was Mick Hurley and many others set personal bests such as Turbo Tim, Parkside and Brownie, Sue Flynn and Kerrie Wilsher. Joel McMahon had his second DNF in a row but rumour has it, he has sought out the wise counsel of Slippery Morris to overcome the jinx.
In the Miniman, the retro Andrew Wade tapered into the event by swimming 4k and doing the club run on Saturday to tear the event up and come 4th overall – well done Andrew. Big efforts were also had by Dave Skelton, Aaron Camp, Dave Hurley and Anje Kane.
Congratulations to Chris Stanton on his performance at the IronMan World Chamionships in Kona, Hawaii.
Triathlon Pink - Well done to those that competed with Emma and Samantha Davidson, Olivia Ludington and Amy Edwards putting on a fine performance.
14 October 2007
Congratulations to Chris Stanton on his performance at the IronMan World Chamionships in Kona, Hawaii. Chris had a split second decison to make 18 days ago whilst riding with Macca and Widoff and elected to go for the gravel rather than through a car when coming down a mountain in Colorado. Chris damaged his shoulder and hip real bad but still managed to compete today.
Chris nutted out a 9:49:55, with 56:29 swim, 5:17:09 bike and a 3:36:13 run for 217th overall.
In addition to this, Chris Stanton's performance was not alone today for ETC, rumour has it that Engadine Tri Club's own George Mifsud handed Macca the Australian flag that he crossed the line with.
11 October 2007
The Scody Australian Triathlon Club Teams Championship results are now up on the web site http://www.engadinetri.com.au/results.shtml. This is where little old Engadine came 4th in Australia.
Scody Trystars Triathlon at Penrith was held the next day and our juniors blitzed it, with Emma and Samatha Davidson both winning their age groups and Jarrad Maroney coming in 3rd. Good to see the kids having a go. There is also a kids race coming up at Triathlon Pink http://www.triathlonpink.com.au/sydney-4.htm in two weeks time and the first race of the State Junior Series is also at Gunnedah on 28/10/07.
8 October 2007
The Scody Australian Triathlon Club Teams Championship was held on the weekend at the Penrith Regatta Centre. Engadine Tri Club, being a small metropolitan Triathlon Club once again competed well above our weight and came fourth overall and was the highest placed Shire club (shameless dig). Also a sensational effort by BRATs in winning the event which should not go unnoted.
To enter roughly 30 members in a total senior membership of around 80 people was an outstanding effort and its great to see our club supporting races and the race directors that put these events on. If we don’t enter the races, they won’t be there in the future so well done. The club results will be on the website shortly and I would strongly suggest this race will comprise part of our Triathlete of the Year Award with the strong membership numbers that competed.
Check out the upcoming races on the Club web site www.engadinetri.com.au , it would be great to see as many people as possible at the upcoming local races at Kurnell and Cronulla.
And a special thanks to Andrew Wade for organising the teams for this and hopefully we will be back there next year with an even bigger show.
