These are some amazing times, especially since both the kayak and bicycling events required a great deal of endurance and physical strength. Suzie Walsh, using my boat and with only one kayak lesson from me, beat my personal record on this course by a minute and my record on the bicycle section by two minutes. There is probably a good reason why she is nationally ranked as a triathlete and her overall time was faster than all the men competitors but one. Karen Broadbeck had only kayaked once earlier using the same route and knocked 30 minutes off her time helping her to place 3rd overall in the event.
