PATRON’S MESSAGE

THE PATRON OF TRIATHLON AUSTRALIA Mr Phil Coles

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 Over the coming year the 2012 London Olympic games that Triathlon Australia will continue to work diligently will become the focus for the world’s elite triathletes. to maintain that high standard and in my role as Patron, The challenges of Olympic competition are indeed I personally wish Triathlon Australia, its officials and formidable and as we have witnesses in recent ITU athletes a very successful year ahead. events, there are now many countries producing outstanding performances.

However, I am confident that Triathlon Australia will ensure our Australian competitors receive the optimum 5

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. 6  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, .

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

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. 7

CEO REPORT

THE CHIEF EXCECUTIVE OFFICER OF TRIATHLON AUSTRALIA Ms Anne Gripper

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 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 A brand new of the Sydney Olympics. 10 years later, I feel proud to Strategic Plan for 2010 – 2015, developed in the early lead “my” sport into the next decade of its part of 2010 in consultation with key stakeholders of development. our sport.

AROUND THE NATION HIGHLIGHTS

AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

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.

2010 ELITE ATHLETE PERFORMANCES

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. 35

Some of the world’s top triathletes attended including New Zealand’s Ms Andrea Hewitt and Great Britain’s Mr , and the full Australian Elite team that had raced that weekend.

Several of Australia’s former World Champions includ- ing Ms , 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.
