What do love about Ironman that’s encouraged you to do so many?
It started as a challenge to do a half, and then I thought I would do a full (Melbourne 2013). It was pretty average - so went to do another - and then another, and so on.
At some point I started thinking of Kona but was never near the qualifying times but I discovered, way back, that there is a legacy program. After 12 finishes you can get invited to go. After my 11th finish I actually qualified for IM WC in Nice, France, which made that my 12th finish. That put me on the legacy list, and my Legacy Kona year came up for 2027 - the ultimate goal is in sight.

Your PM race looked like it went very well given the AG 19th place and 11.10 finish time. How did you find it ?
The swim was one of my best IM swims I have done - only bettered by my first PM IM swim 12 years ago. I felt I was fast in the water without expending too much effort - and very happy with the effort in the end!
The bike leg is an again a consistent effort - not putting too much effort. The weather at the start was a bit cool and wet which helps. The course is not that flat so lots of up and down hills. The second half warmed up and the wind picked up which made it a bit harder - but kept a close eye on my speed and power kept it under control.
The run was when the sun came out and it started to get a bit harder. i found my stride fairly early on and kept the legs ticking over at a regular pace. When the mind games started I would look at my heart rate and see that I’m not dying and convince myself I can keep going the way that I was.
Best bit of all was finishing in daylight for the first time (daylight savings helped)!

What kind of training load across swim bike & run have you been doing this last 12 weeks in preparation?
Mostly the bike - and on the indoor trainer. An hour most mornings before work. A couple of 60km and 90km cycles during the weekend in the months before the race - and a little 10km run after.
Running has been mostly 10km runs during work lunch - with some long 21-26km runs thrown in there
Swimming has been in the north Sydney Olympic pool since it last opened - 1000m swims mostly on the weekend.

Any advice for those of us thinking about doing a first Ironman?
Consistency - not necessarily big volume. Get any training that you can in - be it running or cycling to/from work or during lunch time. A 20min swim after work now and then.
It doesn’t have to be every day at every available moment- every little bit helps and those parts add up to a big amount in the end
What helped the most for me this time is keeping a close eye on my metrics in training peaks - that gives you an excellent guide as to where you are and where you are going fitness-wise.

Meet Ombeline. She is about to do her FIRST EVER triathlon at Nepean. 🏊 🚴 🏃‍♀️

How did you hear about Balmoral Triathlon Club and when did you join?
I am a keen trail runner (I love a long run with a view) and also love to swim down at Balmoral beach. I noticed the signs outside the Balmoral triathlon clubhouse and saw the members doing brick sessions on Saturday mornings, which got me thinking that I might be able to spend time doing my favourite things with people who enjoy them just as much as I do! I joined the club around June this year and am very pleased that I did - the team are like a big family, they challenge me further, and I have enjoyed adding cycling to my list of outdoor hobbies!

Which distance have you entered at Nepean?
I have decided to enter the Nepean distance -1km swim, 30km cycle, 8km run. I generally enjoy an endurance race but as this is my first triathlon I decided to start somewhere reasonable. We will see how we go from there!

How are you feeling about doing your first Triathlon and leg do you think you will be your favourite?
I am excited to be doing a triathlon! It will be fun, and what a great way to spend time outdoors. I am looking forward to all three disciplines, although running remains my favourite still (for now).

Here’s Phillip Lynch talking about how he went at the 2026 Aus Cycling NSW/ACT Club Team Time Trial Championships this last weekend.

"Our Manly Cyling Club team was racing 8 teams in the 180’s group on Saturday 10th at Goulburn, and we landed a 4th, finishing just 2 minutes and 7 seconds behind the winners.

How do the Team Time Trial Categories work e.g. Masters Men 120+?
120’s refers to the 3 riders that need to finish to record a time, and their respective ages must add up to at least 120, or in my case 180’s so we were a team of largely 60 + year olds.

What do you enjoy most about riding in a Time Trial team?
Teamwork – you can only go as fast as your third rider as you need to get 3 over the line. So that means sharing the load and working efficiently to roll turns, with power peaking when you’re on the front and recovering as you slide back into the draft, all at peak speed.

Is your team going to enter the Jet Cycles 120TTT on November 8th at Sydney Motorsport Park?

Yes as a three – we’ll be looking to get a little handicap back as the Jet event gives you 3 seconds back for every year relative to other teams, so we want to challenge the slightly younger Manly team that beat us on Saturday."

💜Dr. Claudia Eichenauer got to Kona Ironman World Championship too! As a Medical Volunteer 💚

Why are you in Kona this year ?
I actually came to Kona for the first time in 2023 for my first half Ironman ever. I would not recommend it as your first 70.3 especially after having covid but an epic atmosphere.
I know I’ll never be fast enough to qualify so being able to volunteer here sounded amazing - being part of the atmosphere without any of the stress of racing!

How did you end up volunteering at the race?
There’s a great sports medicine conference that’s been running for more than 30 years. You get the awesome opportunity to then volunteer on race day - I’ll be in one of the medical vans from 3pm until 1am. I wanted to be there for the final finishers !!
The medical organisation is amazing- Ironman have basically created a small hospital on race day!

What’s next for you?
I used to want to be a surgeon but that made training for triathlons very tricky. My brother was wise for once and said: you love sports why don’t you become a sports doctor. And I’ve been loving it ever since ! You’ll find me at AFLW Giants, NRL West Tigers games and hopefully more triathlon events in the future!
And fun fact: I’m the runner up for the conference competition race slot for racing IMWC 2027 in Kona - if the winner pulls out of the race I get her slot !! So, I’m not done with Kona just yet!
