Forager Central West Triathlon LeagueThe Central West Interclub Championships return to their traditional home for Round 3 of the 2021 series with the first event of the inaugural interclub series held in Orange over 20years ago
In that time the Orange Venue has moved from Lake Canobolas to Gosling Creek Reserve and the Orange Prianas Triathlon Club were looking to extend their big lead in the current Forager Central West Triathlon League Ladder at the Gosling Creek Reserve today
In the Men’s Sprint Championship, talented Junior Hugh Thornhill was impressive leading after the Swim, but international Triathlete Jack Bilton was leading the chase and soon took the lead in the bike ride. However it was 2017 Orange winner Mark Windsor on his favourite course, who then took the lead in the second half of the bike leg and lead into the run.
2019 winner Jack Bilton made up ground in the first lap of the run leg to regain the race lead, but it did come with some drama after the pair lost time taking a wrong turn. Both Gareth Fuller and Tim Robinson after good cycling legs finished strongly however Orange’s Jack Bilton charged home to record an impressive win with Gareth Fuller catching Windsor to round out the top 3 positions overall.
In the Women sprint, Sian Potter, Sophie Martin and Molly Dean powered through the swim leg to lead early, however the challenge came from Sybilla Commins and Estelle Dean in the cycle leg.
Recent Bathurst Round winner Sophie Martin remained calm and run home strongly to defeat Molly Dean by 30seconds with Sybilla Commins third.
