PB1 Weekend Wrap Up

Western Sydney 70.3
CHELSEA S
Debut 70.3 for Chelsea over the weekend and what a fantastic day it was! A lot of hard work went into this one and now it’s onto GC marathon!

TILY
A great race for Tily not only with a huge bike/run PB (33mins) but also punching her ticket to 70.3 WC in Nice!

NIKKY
Debut 70.3 for Nikky on Sunday. Controlled and consistent race from start to finish resulted in her achieving her finish line goal.

Hoka Half Marathon
DANELLA
A PB run for Danella in 1:42:40, a great achievement en route to Chicago marathon later in the year.

EMILY B
PB for Emily getting her sub 2 HM in 1:59:18. A great accomplishment for her and now it’s onto Noosa Marathon.

KATE
A consistent run from Kate and one where she showed her continued strength development with her running. Bring on Sydney Marathon!

MANON
A strong performance from Manon over the weekend on a tough HM course. Excited for what’s to come on the build to next season’s tri racing.

JESS
First HM for Jess and what a great run! She continues to go from strength to strength and now onto Port Stephens Olympic Tri.

EMILY H
Was great to see Emily back on the start line finishing in a time of 2:11. All eyes on Sydney Marathon now!

CLARE
Fantastic work by Clare backing up 2 weeks after the backyard Ultra. Sydney marathon here we come!

Mudgee Gran Fondo
HAYLEY
120k punchy Gran Fondo ride for Hayley as part of her prep for 70.3 Worlds.
Technical, hilly and all part of the big picture.

Memory Run - Ellie
A strong 6k performance from Ellie only a week after the Ballarat Half. Excited for this build to Geelong Marathon.

Great work by all the PB1 crew over the weekend!

Over the weekend Justin once again lowered his 5k PB to 18:17 🔥 (3:39/km).

Before Justin joined PB1 in September 2023 he had never run a sub 20min 5k. Since early 2024, he has never run a ParkRun or 5k TT over 20mins.

Consistent work has resulted in Justin continuing to raise the bar. His program focuses on quality threshold and speed work which continues to pay off dividends for Justin.

Incredible work Justin! Sub 18 is in sights!!

A couple of weeks ago Dawn crushed her half Marathon PB by 8mins at the Geelong Half.
Her specific training was not the only thing that unlocked this new PB for her. It was also coming into the race with game plans that she could implement throughout the race depending upon how the body was responding on the day.

We are now working towards the Geelong marathon in September and then onto the Canberra 100k Triathlon in November. An exciting year of development and progression ahead for Dawn!

Great work Dawn!

Ballarat Half - Ellie
A PB half marathon performance by Ellie on the weekend taking 2mins off her previous best time.
A great run by Ellie and now we start to turn our sights to the Geelong marathon in September.

London Marathon - Chelsea C
A PB marathon run by Chelsea and Pete over the weekend in London taking 10mins off their previous best time finishing in 4:28.

Awesome work Ellie and Chelsea 👏👏

PB1 weekend wrap up

Wollongong Olympic

LEAH
A great race by Leah over the weekend finishing 9th in her AG. Strong race from start to finish and a great way to finish off her summer racing season. Onwards to her debut 70.3 in October!

CHRIS
A smart and controlled race from Chris in Wollongong showing his continuing improving durability as well as displaying his experience in the sport. Capping off a great summer of racing and now we turn our focus more to running over the winter.

Coming away with 🥉 at National Champs amongst some very quick company up in front. Stoked to have finished off the season with a new PB off the bike (35:48).

Shellharbour OW Swim - Hayley 🥇
First overall female in the 2k OW swim at Shellharbour over the weekend. Hayley displaying her swimming strength with a fantastic race day result. Now onto 70.3 WC.

WSTC Sprint - Riley
A fantastic race by Riley on Sunday in the Sprint at Altona. A great race to test the body and see where things are at going into off season. Superb run coming away with a sub 20 (19:51) off the bike!

Sydney Backyard Ultra
RAHUL
An awesome 10 laps by Rahul at the Sydney backyard ultra. After building back post Sri Lanka this was a calculated loading for him as we build into some exciting new projects!

CLARE
Fantastic running by Clare finishing with 8 laps at the Backyard Ultra. Fantastic performance from Clare with the goal being to get past the marathon distance. She certainly did that and finished having racked up 56km!

Fantastic work by all the PB1 crew over the weekend! 👏👏

What an honour it was to be part of this journey and what a fantastic way to close the chapter on this adventure.

Premiere viewing of Born To Fly earlier in the week. The story of Rahul’s journey to becoming the first person to run the length of Sri Lanka and now a word record holder.

Feats like this take a team supporting and coordinating with each other to ensure success. Massive kudos in particular to .lawson and .khajeian both for their support of Rahul and documenting of the process from Day 1.

Sufficed to say there are big things in the works, we are only just getting started!

Fantastic work by Dawn and Shane over the weekend in the Geelong and Hobart Half Marathons.

Dawn is coming off the back of a busy summer of short course triathlon racing and now leading into some winter run blocks before we then focus on the Canberra 100k Triathlon in November.

Shane is 2 weeks post the Kunanyi 25k mountain run and now we have eyes on the Brisbane Marathon as well as an ultra in the second half of the year.

Great work Dawn and Shane!

One of the happiest duos going around!

The dream team Chelsea and Pete!

From local fun runs to triathlons to world majors, these 2 have done it all!

T-20 days til London Marathon for the dynamic duo!
