Scott Richardson recently (29 June) competed in the French Ironman in Nice. Michelle Loftus sent us this blog. Thanks Michelle.
Scott Richardson took part in the Sunsmart Ironman 70.3 Busselton Triathlon on Saturday 11th May.
The course was 1.9 kms swim, 90.1 kms bike, 21.1. kms run.
Scott completed the swim in 31.04 mins, the ride in 2.21.02 hours and the run in 1.42.12 hours. Wow!!
He was 10th fastest in his age group for the swim and 6th fastest in the cycle.
He said:
‘I only got "Chicked" by 3 female athletes in the ride. That means only 3 females in the entire field beat my cycle time. It's a small victory I know but let me have my moment.
A great thanks as usual to my long suffering wife Roberta for her fantastic support and to my mum and dad who also come down to cheer me on. Also a great big thanks to Gerry and Marguerite for their fantastic support as always. Thanks to all who wished me well and followed my progress.’
Scott’s next event is the Ironman Nice 23rd June on the beautiful Riviera.
