A fantastic finish to a landmark season for HTC with the club returning to it's 2007 position of 15th at the 2009 TriNSW Club Champs. Steve H finished 4th in the M40-44 category to pick up 27 points for the club and we had 7 other club members who finished between 11th and 16th in their age groups to all pick up valuable points. With a couple of extra faces next year, a couple more TriNSW members and maybe a couple of volunteers &/or TOs we could have a real shot at cracking the Top 10. Well done all on a great season and a great weekend. Here are the club champs results.

Results from the Aquathlon Grand Finale, Dave & Dean Benefit Race, Ironman Australia, TA Challenge Series Geelong, BRW and Tre-X Triathlons are now up. Apologies for the delay.

A great turn up for the 2008/9 HTC King of the Mountain, especially given the clash with the Corporate Games. We had 12 members and 2 guests do their best up Brooklyn Hill twice. Not surprisingly it was Steve H first up in a blistering time, 10:26, beating second place Martin by almost 1 minute and third placed Andrew J by almost 2 minutes. On the second run off Handicap it was Andrew Good who had the start from scratch and managed to hold on for the handicap win by the barest of margins with Charles just 3 seconds back and Andrew J only 1 second behind him. Steve Hume again had the fastest net time which won him the Overall win. Steve H and Andrew G both rewarded with Coffee and Toast on the club. Well done to all.
