  • Going Long on Home Course
    August 30, 2017 Going long on home course Phillip Rodda AFTER a breakthrough Mooloolaba Triathlon victory, Buderim’s Annelise Jefferies is chasing another home success Ironman 70.3 Sunshine Coast. The former world under-23 duathlon champion has switched to long-course racing and has been refreshed by the change of approach. “A couple of years ago when I was doing some riding training on the road, I realised how much I enjoyed doing longer distances,” she said. Annelise trains about 20 hours a week across the three disciplines and crams in part-time university studies and work as a receptionist. Now 24, she has gained confidence from her Mooloolaba success but also understands the importance of finding the balance between life and sport. CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 News Annelise builds 70.3 momentum FROM PAGE 1 “I used to train 30 hours a week but training is more about quality than quantity, it’s a smarter way of training,” she said. “I used to be so tired from training, it was mentally intense, but I learned it’s about giving yourself the opportunity to have other things outside of sport.” She said she felt confident that with her triathlon experience, she could adapt quickly to the 70.3 distance incorporating a 1.9km swim, 90km cycle and 21.1km run. “You see athletes that are really successful in the 70.3 races, a lot of them picked up the sport later in life,” she said. “I’ve done a few runs at the 70.3 distance before this so I feel Annelise Jefferies wins this year’s Mooloolaba Triathlon PHOTO: WARREN LYNAM I’m ready for the up in intensity and distance.” This steady build-up included a sixth placed finish in Taiwan Pair all revved up for long-course debut during March where she finished in 4:40:20 (29:50 swim, 2:28:57 SUPERCARS commentator cycle, 1:34:22 run), followed by a Riana Crehan’s passion is the HALF IRONMAN fourth at Challenge Melbourne adrenalin-filled, high-speed, with an effort of 4:40:29.1 (34:02, high-tech and intense world of What: Ironman 70.3 2:36:48, 1:25:08) during April and motorsport.

  • Jake Birtwhistle Wins Sprint Double in Wollongong
    MEDIA RELEASE March 8, 2015 Jake Birtwhistle completes another rare National title double in Wollongong Tasmania’s favourite triathlon son Jake Birtwhistle has completed a rare feat, completing a clean sweep of Triathlon Australia’s major National Championships at the 2015 Wollongong OTU Sprint Triathlon Oceania Cup today. The 20-year-old is believed to be the first triathlete to win the Elite and Under 23 Australian Standard (Olympic) Distance and Elite and Under 23 Sprint Distance Championships in one season. The boy from Launceston, who won the Standard Distance National and Oceania championships in his return home to nearby Devonport a fortnight ago was untroubled to add the Sprint crowns to his trophy cabinet in his adopted home city in Wollongong today. Birtwhistle, who trains as part of Jamie Turner’s Wollongong Wizard’s group was 20th out of the water after the 750m swim in Belmore Basin, setting up a perfect race. The lanky former distance track and Cross country champion had no trouble jumping onto the lead group on the bike as the field rode 20km around the Wollongong foreshores before heading home on the five kilometre run to the finish. The ITU World Junior silver medallist from 2014 sped out of transition from bike to run and despite the efforts of close friend and rival Tyler Mislawchuk from Canada, Birtwhistle was never headed. In the end he sealed victory in 54 minutes 44 seconds from Germany’s Christopher Hettich (55:21) with Mislawchuk (55.29) third in the Oceania Cup with Birtwhistle taking the two National crowns – the Elite from Queensland pair Drew Box (55:45) and Gold Coaster Daniel Coleman (55:54) and the Under 23 from Box and Victorian Joel Tobin White (55.56).
