2012 Upper Murray Multisports Challenge Results - Its official - We have the records!

despite appalling conditions

Now, here's the facts:

  • These records were set during the worst conditions of the 10 year history of the race.  The wet, cold conditions with mud and slush underfoot made for tough going.
  • I can never recall a team of amateurs winning one of these races outright.  These races are always dominated by the young, hardened professionals who train and race full time.  My brother Gordon is an over-worked dentist, Bruce is a full time engineer.  All three of us are over 50 years old.  I am in my 60th year.
  • In order of the relay: I finished fourth in the mountain bike, Bruce fourth in the paddle and Gordon ran a real burner to bring us home in first place.
  • In this race, we got our noses in front of Australia's two best multisports athletes - Jarad Kohlar and Luke Haines.
How did three ageing amateurs manage to do it?  Well, I will not speak directly about Gordon and Bruce, but here is a clue: http://blog.garymoller.com/2011/07/more-about-reversing-cardiovascular.html
