FLUSHED WITH SUCCESS: Climbing the hills around West Dapto on his bike and simulated altitude training courtesy of NSWIS were just two of the key factors that paved the way for Under 23 Newcastle-born triathlete Aaron Royle to be crowned Australia’s latest World Triathlon Champion in Auckland. The 22-year-old timed his run to perfection over the final 100 metres after five athletes ran shoulder to shoulder over the final 2.5 kilometres in and around the gruelling Auckland Harbour amphitheatre. Royle, with his coach Jamie Turner and mother Kim and father Ken cheering him on, pushed the go button to clear out over the final stages to beat Spain’sFernando Alarza and Great Britain’s Thomas Bishop. The green and gold Scody suits were well and truly to the fore right from the outset in yesterday’s race with Brisbane boys Ryan Fisher and Josh Amberger covering Royle’s every move and Ryan Bailie, who worked hard in a solo effort off the bike, never far away and protecting his mates. Fisher, who only dropped off the pace just after the bell lap on the 10km run, hung deep to finish fifth with Royle’s training partner Bailie storming home to claim 10th just ahead of Amberger in 11th.
