Surf Lifesaving’s loss is triathlon’s gain in !

After a shoulder injury meant she was no longer able to paddle, she lined up in her first full Ironman in Cairns having the race of her life finishing 6th in the 25-29 AG and qualifying for Kona!

Following coach Liz’s advice, Cat took the swim very relaxed aiming not to spend any unnecessary energy. Onto the bike she was able to overcome some significant mechanical issues with a calm head including some MacGyver type maneuvers involving hair ties and saddle bolts!

“The run was honestly so good for me. It’s an absolute weakness that I’ve been working so hard on and so to run that pace for a marathon off the bike is crazy to me. I felt mostly comfortable the entire run and really enjoyed it.”

Congratulations Cat and coach , we couldn’t be happier for you!

Whilst we had over 50 athletes racing in Cairns, RPG'ers were also competing in Europe and across Australia with athletes at IM Klagenfurt, Rottnest Marathon, Brissy to the Bay and the delights of XCR cross country at Cruden Farm.

Craig Cassidy topped up the winter miles in style....

"Cruden Farm, like most cross country races, delivered a real challenge. The course was on rolling hills and uneven grassy terrain, making it nearly impossible to find a moment to recover. Even the downhills weren’t straightforward—many sections sloped sideways, so it was awkward to really stretch out your stride, and there were plenty of cowpats to dodge along the way. There were also a couple of log jumps and some boggy patches; at one point, I saw a runner ahead lose a shoe in the mud.

I run with Diamond Valley Athletics Club and have been doing the Athletics Victoria winter cross country races for the past decade. It’s a fantastic way to stay motivated and maintain fitness throughout winter, and it sets me up well for the Melbourne Marathon each October.

has been coaching me since December last year and has been great. I look forward to the weather getting a bit warmer in Melbourne and the summer triathlon season."

‘Attitude and ethical racing over placing’. RPG motto number 976/1146.

With the rough swim, we knew that nausea on the bike was going to be a major issue for athletes with both potential motion sickness and the ingestion of a lot of salt water in the swim leading to GI chaos on race day. 

For Jake Ho**er and Andrew Wilson while they were both well versed in strategy around how to deal with swallowed sea water should it occur but Northern Qld had a few more tricks up its sleeve to make the day a bit tougher.

Jake hit an oil slick with several other competitors going down hard and losing plenty of bark and snapping an aero bar. While Andrew managed to slice his tyre to the point that no amount of tubeless plugging was going to help and he needed to put a tube in. Jake got some medical attention, decided his steed was hopefully structurally up for him finishing the ride and went out and got through both the bike and run crossing the finish line in style. Andrew got a tube in eventually only to get another puncture which he then had to ride home into transition. 

When we encourage athletes to do visualisations pre race we encourage visualisations of not just the step by step dream race scenario but also visualising how they’re going to mentally and practically deal with anything that could bring their race undone. I have no idea if those pep talks helped either of these guys as they’re both strong minded individuals already but they definitely showed an ability to accept the situation and do what they could. Not just finishing the race as best they could but also not letting their disappointment at what could have been bring down those around them who had their ideal days. 

 At RPG we have always celebrated attitude far more than results and these guys determination and grit makes the coaching team way more proud than any faster performance they might have potentially achieved on a problem free day.

Ever in demand RPG Coach gives her top 3 tips from a 3 time IM Cairns winner!

1. Don’t swim too hard in this race, you’re in a wetsuit, in warm water and the swim is a small part of the race so there’s little to be gained but a lot to lose if you overheat and lose excessive fluid and sodium through sweating.

2. Conserve a little on the bike for the back half. This race is notorious for having a headwind all the way home from Port Douglas to Cairns, so that last 60-70km you’ll be riding into a headwind of varying strength depending on the day but reliably a headwind. So, save a little for that and be mentally ready to be riding a little slower.

3. Soak up the energy of the crowd and other racers on the run course. As an Ironman athlete you’ll have both IM athletes and potentially some 70.3 finishers lining the course supporting. The pubs along the Esplanade are packed and get nice and rowdy and supportive – lean into that energy, talk to other competitors – you’ll be surprised how much energy it gives you.
