Multisports Orange County (CA)

SURFERS PARADISE, AUSTRALIA – There was some nervous excitment by many of the athletes waiting for the last minute decision to make the event a non-wetsuit race. Without wetsuits the race is 2.5k Run-1k Swim-2.5k Run. If wetsuits had been legal the event would have been run as a 1k Swim followed by a 5k Run. The water temp reading an hour before the first wave was 22.1c  with a limit of below 22 for wetsuits to be legal.

 The race was run in four waves set off 1 hour apart. Wave one was the Pro males and females, Under 23 Elites, and Junior Elites. Wave 2 was men under 40. Wave 3 was men 40+ and wave four was all females. The waves were quite large as it was the largest field for a World Championship Aquathlon by a long way! The addition of Sprint Distance athletes to Worlds added a lot of participants to the Aquathlon as well. 

There were 372 Male Amateur finishers and 206 female finishers.

REDONDO BEACH, CA - There were least 7 Friends of MSOC & Nova Masters participants in this "swim heavy" sprint triathlon. Kerry Deputy took 1st place in the 45-49 and won the Masters Division (40+). Big Mike McNeill dominated the Clydsdale division and had a great race where everything "fell into place". Stewart Mimms learned some valuable lessons for the next big race, leaving his CHIP in transition after stripping out of his wet suit; he was still able to pull off an AG win.
