This edition is a “triathlon” special, inspired by the great feats of local World Ironman Champion Craig Alexander, who at the age of 38, won the event for the third time and smashed the world record time while he was at it. This combined with our favourite event of the year, the Hamilton Island Triathlon (which we feature inside), we just couldn’t resist.

Craig is a fine example of a determined athlete - up there with Cadel in the “middle-aged” champions category. We also look at Champion Cyclist Michelle Ferris and her dabble in the sport of Triathlon.

We introduce a man who’s come the full circle with us, first as a junior athlete, who progressed to represent Australia in 3 sports, former beach sprint champion Zane Campbell (no relation, thankfully). Now that he’s old he coaches for Jock Athletic. Over the next few months, Zane will be combining with me to write on soft sand running, in particularly beach sprinting, which is a part of sport in Surf Lifesaving. Welcome Zane.

Enjoy.

Jock
