Member – Peter’s International Triathlon Success

Members - Peter

Congratulations to one of our members, Peter, who placed third in the International Triathlon World titles last weekend on the Gold Coast.

This championship is held every year in a different country and it comes to Australia about every nine years. This year Peter competed the 75 – 79 age group amongst other elite athletes in the sprint event: 750m swim, 20km ride and a 5km run. As this event takes even the elite athletes an hour to complete it is really an endurance event in spite of the name. Peter’s efforts had him place third in his age category (1 hour and 26) with the winner coming in about 90 seconds sooner. He says a lot of his success may be attributed to good genetics and health, however much is to be said for “use-it or lose-it”. Leading up to the triathlon Peter was highly dedicated to his training – swimming 3 times a week and attending at least one gym/treadmill session – stating that PARC played a big role in his efforts.

Peter suggests to members of any age considering taking up this sport should contact the Mornington Peninsula Triathlon Club for expert guidance and great companionship.

These results show us what we hear from you every day - PARC is much more than a pool or gym.

Achieving your 30-20-2 is easier than you think! 🏋️

Our formula is designed so that you can be active anywhere, anytime. We know it can be more difficult to get your movement in when the weather is cooler, so we wanted to share some simple exercises that you can do at home, without any equipment needed. 

30-20-2 is all about movement in ways that work for you, so remember:
✅ Moving doesn't need to be overwhelming. You can break up your exercise into smaller bite size pieces, such as taking ten minutes three times a day to get your movement in. 
✅ Everybody's fitness level and ability is different, so doing altered movements does not have any less of a positive impact. 
✅ Prioritising your health and wellbeing goals doesn’t just improve your fitness, it changes how you feel, think, and connect with the world around you.
