Team Trigon

Courtney Gilfillan

Courtney is the newest addition to our Team.

Courtney is now training under Craig Walton so we are excited about what the future holds for her. The 2012 season kicks off in February at the Australian Sprint Championships so keep an eye out for Courtney at the front of the pack!

Emma Conman-Jeffries
Since her amazing efforts last month competing in the Open divisions for her first time, Emma has been training and competing with consistent results. In Race 2 of the QLD Triathlon series Emma placed 6^th in the Open division. This weekend is Race 3 and we are anticipating her results are just as impressive. The following week Emma will be going to Canberra for the ACT Olympic distance championships, which is the first qualifying race for the Australian team to compete in New Zealand next year. Best of luck this month Emma we are very proud of you!

Keira Pride
Unfortunately, due to injury Keira’s racing has been quiet the past months. However, this has not stopped her from working toward next year’s races! Keira is now almost back to full running and has transitioned into a building phase to best prepare her for 2012. Keira will be on the Gold Coast training for the next week then in Adelaide just before Christmas. We wish Keira the best of health from now on and look forward to her coming back even stronger than before!

Luke Henry

This month has been quiet for Luke in the racing department. But despite this, he has taken the initiative to better himself as an athlete and undergone a youth emerging talent camp. Luke says this was a great experience in learning how to improve each discipline whether it is technique or lactic threshold. Luke’s first race for his season is the Runaway Super Sprint weekend on 16^th December. Keep up the great work Luke!

James Moffat
James has been very busy this month training with the State Junior Endurance squad for U17’s and ramping up for the rest of the track season- in particular, the State Championships at the end of January. James has been racing crits with constant improvement, notably coming 6^th in the Glenvale D Grade Criterium after a race long breakaway of 10.

New Addition to the Team!

James Moffat
James Moffat is the latest addition to the Trigon team. He is an up and coming talent and we see real potential in this young cyclist!
James received his RCC11 only days before he raced at the Victorian Schools Cycling Championships. On a testing circuit with three hairpins James was amazed at the combination of both stiffness and comfort the bike offered. He ended up coming 8th out of a field of nearly 45. After a week of busy training James has expressed that his initial positive impressions of the bike have only been confirmed.
James, along with the Trigon team is confident the RCC11 will guide him to many great results through the summer season of racing.
James has also been selected as part of the VictorianJunior Endurance Squad, which is a great opportunity for him to improve his riding.

Consistently Strong & Getting stronger...

Emma Conman-Jeffries
After returning from World Championships in China, Emma had a week’s rest before she went straight back into training.
Emma competed in the Bribie Triathlon Series October 8th and 9th where she placed 1st in the 20-24 age group.
Emma has decided to take it up a notch and is now competing in Open's so this will be a great test and experience for Emma's development.

The Gatorade QTS Series at Raby Bay on 16th October was her first races competing in Open's where she placed 6th overall in the open division. Super effort up against a number of strong athletes!
In her latest event- Noosa Triathlon, Emma finished 3rd in the 20-24 age group. Next on the cards, Emma heads to Canberra in 7 weeks to do the ACT Championships with two Gatorade QTS Series races in between.

Luke Henry
This has been another consistent month for Luke! Placing 1st at Airlie Beach 16-19 age group (5th overall), 3rd at Townsville 16-19 age group (6th overall) and 1st at Bowen 16-19 age group (2nd overall). In between competing Luke attended the TQ Trials, which he said was a great experience. Luke was in full swing for the Noosa Triathlon. He had good swim around 21:30 and bike about 1:06 so was going well until he cramped up early into the run. Luke was planning on competing at the Hamilton Island tri in the coming weeks, however, Luke has been chosen to attend a camp as part of an Emerging Talent Squad on the same weekend. This is great news for Luke and we know he is destined for great things!!!
