MTC news

Following a number of podiums from our fantastic members at the recent HEvents Maitland Triathlon, Maitland Traithlon Club have gathered maximum points and have taken first place ahead of Newcastle Triathlon Club. Age group wins by Scott Salmon, Kari Armitage, Emma Stallard and Brett Hyland helped lift MTC to the maximum 25 points for an event, with NTC close behind with 21 points. The second event of the series is only days away, being the Port Stephens Triathlon Festival held by Elite Energy on Saturday 21st November. This weekend's event is the only one of the series run at the Sprint distance. As the "home" event for Tomaree Club, they will hope to have a good showing to improve on their current third place, equal with Lake Macquarie. The final two events for the new HITS league are the Sparke Helmore Newcastle Triathlon in February 2021, and the 2021 Triathlon NSW club champs running in May at Forster.

The most notable changes was the move to athletes carrying their own water bottles to the drink station, and the need to depart the area once finished. The latter change was the hardest, with members missing the social camaraderie built up around the club over its 21 years of operation. Attendees included multiple athletes from Tomaree Triathlon Club,
