PATRON’S MESSAGE
Over the coming year the 2012 London Olympic games
will become the focus for the world’s elite triathletes.
The challenges of Olympic competition are indeed
formidable and as we have witnesses in recent ITU
events, there are now many countries producing
outstanding performances.
However, I am confident that Triathlon Australia will
ensure our Australian competitors receive the optimum
support and encouragement which they will need in
preparing to take on those challenges.
Immediately following the 2012 Olympics, all Olympic
Summer sports will come under review by the
International Olympic Committee, at which time one
sport may be excluded from the programme of the 2020
Games.
While I am confident that Triathlon will maintain its
place on the Olympic Programme there is still no time
for complacency. Triathlon must continue to strive for
excellence and continued improvement in the way it
conducts and presents itself to the public and to the
media.
Australia has always been at the forefront in both
performance and development of its triathletes. I trust
that Triathlon Australia will continue to work diligently
to maintain that high standard and in my role as Patron,
I personally wish Triathlon Australia, its officials and
athletes a very successful year ahead.
THE PATRON OF TRIATHLON AUSTRALIA

PRESIDENT’S REVIEW
THE PRESIDENT OF TRIATHLON AUSTRALIA
Mr Peter Hedge
The Board and management of Triathlon Australia continued to build the
foundations for the future of our sport during 2010/11. In doing so, we have
maintained our focus on the prudential management of our organisations finances,
listening to the needs of our members and representing our members best
interests on issues that matter most for the future of our sport.
I have listed below a number of more significant achievements during the year :-
The employment of our new CEO, Anne Gripper. Anne has provided revitalised leadership and guidance across all affili-ated associations and aspects of our sport since commencing in September 2010.
The launch of the Australian National Championship Series in February 2011. The series currently comprising Geelong, Mooloolaba and Sydney guarantees minimum prize money and Television coverage for our sport and was identified in our strategic planning process as a corner stone requirement for the development of our sport in Australia.
The successful submission to the Federal Government for funding to assist in our sport participation and development programmes. A grant of $250,000 was received
The successful submission to the Federal Government for additional funding for High Performance objectives. A grant of $400,000 over and above existing Federal funding assistance was received.
The Sydney ITU World Championship Series event was held in April 2011 and for the first time included Age Group par-ticipants. In a world first for our sport the event incorporated the Sydney Harbour Bridge in the bike leg.
The rearrangment of our High Performance staffing structure created the role of a National Performance Director which now reports directly to the National CEO of Triathlon Australia.
The introduction of an Annual Awards dinner for Triathlon in Australia which brought together representatives from every aspect of our sport at a Gala event held following the Sydney Championship event in April 2011.
The launch of an integrated Web site and database management system for our association nationally which may also be utilized by all affiliated triathlon associations and clubs across Australia to host their own individual sites and activi-ties.
The launch of our National Calendar of events in a format which is integrated in our web site with links to event organis-ers sites.
7
The completion of an improved event sanctioning processes and revised race rules, accessed through our national web portal, focused on ensuring the safety and fairness of events and competition within our sport.
The negotiated agreement with a number of private event organisers for them to provide preferred access to their Tri-athlon events for annual members of Triathlon Australia.
The convening of our second annual “Whole of sport” conference which this year will be focused on bringing together for the first time all club presidents from across Australia to further the participation and sport development objectives of our association.
In addition to the outcomes being achieved at an organisational level, our Australian athletes continued to dominate at an in-
ternational level across all disciplines and age-groups.
Details of outstanding individual performances are outlined in this annual report. It is however with great pride as an Australian
that I acknowledge the 2010 Ironman world champions Chris McCormack and Mirinda Carfrae, the 2010 ITU world champion
for the second year in a row, Emma Moffat, the 2010 ITU world under 23 champion, Emma Jackson, the 2010 ITU Junior world
champion, Ashleigh Gentle, the 2010 ITU world champion bronze medalist Brad Kahlefeldt, and the 2010 ITU grand final gold
medalist in Budapest, Emma Snowsill.
Our National Association plays an important role in representing the interests of our sport in Australia with the Olympic move-
ment and the Commonwealth Games.
This year saw the inaugural Youth Olympic Games in Singapore. Two outstanding young athletes represented our nation at
these games, Ellie Salthouse and Michael Gosman. Ellie came home with a silver medal and both Ellie and Michael brought a
silver medal home in the mixed team event.
London is now on the horizon and the Board is very conscious of ensuring our elite athletes have access to the support neces-
sary to provide them with every opportunity to succeed. The Australian Olympic committee and the Federal Government is a
source of ongoing support for our sport in this pursuit. As a sport we are grateful for that support.
The inclusion of Triathlon as an Olympic sport requires continual vigilance by our international sporting body, the International
Triathlon Union (ITU). Through the efforts of the ITU it was recently announced that Paratriathlon will be included in the Para-
lympics for Rio in 2016.
As President I have the privilege of representing Australia at the annual ITU conference which coincides each year with the
World Championships. Australia has also been privileged by having two representatives on the ITU Board. Bill Walker (Sydney
resident and a former president of Triathlon Australia)) is currently a vice president of the ITU and Jenny Mann (Adelaide resi-
dent) is a Board member. I extend our appreciation to both Bill and Jenny for their contribution.
The Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014 will again include Triathlon after having not been nominated as a sport in Delhi.
I currently represent Triathlon Australia on the Commonwealth Games board of management as Australia prepares for Glas-
gow. In addition I note a bid has been submitted for the Gold Coast to host the games in 2018 yet the outcome of that proposal
will not be known until later.
The association has worked hard this year to promote the interests of our annual members with event organisers. For many
years members have expressed their disappointment at being unable to enter significant events due to the entry process
adopted by private event organisers creating an insurmountable obstacle to event entry. I am pleased to note a number of
event organisers have listened to our representations and agreed to offer our annual members an opportunity to enter their
events before they open to the public at large. This recognition of our annual members by the private event organisers is great-
ly appreciated and your association will continue to represent members concerns in such areas.
There is of course so much more that has been achieved this year and so much more that has yet to be done. This annual re-
port however gives us an opportunity to pause and celebrate the progress and achievements that have been made through the
hard work of many volunteer members, executive staff, event organisers, athletes and other contributors to our sport who
have willingly invested time to build these foundations for Triathlon in Australia.
Many people are recognised and acknowledged in this Annual Report yet I would like to express my personal appreciation to
my fellow directors and executive staff from our national and state associations, and our affiliated club committees for their
support and contribution during the year.

It was with honour and anticipation that I commenced
in the role of Chief Executive Officer of Triathlon
Australia on 16th September 2010. This was exactly 10
years to the day after I had stood in the Botanic Gardens
of Sydney watching Michellie Jones do battle with
Brigitte McMahon in the opening event of the Sydney
Olympic Games – the Women’s Triathlon, on 16th
September 2000. 10 years ago, I felt proud that “my”
sport had been selected as the opening, showcase event
of the Sydney Olympics. 10 years later, I feel proud to
lead “my” sport into the next decade of its
development.
I was fortunate to commence in the role, well supported
by three important factors:
A professional, competency-based Board, elected in
November 2009 who had already achieved a significant
turnaround in the corporate governance of the
association prior to my arrival.
An experienced, member-focused group of State and
Territory Executive Officers who were enthusiastic
about working together as a team and pursuing a
national approach to the development of our sport.
A brand new
Strategic Plan for 2010 – 2015, developed in the early
part of 2010 in consultation with key stakeholders of
our sport. It was a plan with which I felt very aligned
and highly motivated to commence implementing.
My 2011 CEO report provides highlights of the year
under each of the Key Result Areas (KRAs) articulated in
our Strategic Plan. Those six KRAs are my daily guide – if
what I am doing does not contribute to the KRAs and
our long term strategy, then I have to question why I am
doing it.
ORGANISATIONAL EXCELLENCE
The financial position of the national association
continued to improve over the year, as we built on the
CEO REPORT
THE CHIEF EXCECUTIVE OFFICER OF TRIATHLON AUSTRALIA
Ms Anne Gripper

positive turnaround achieved by the Board and staff in
the previous year. As the 2011 Financial Statements
attest, Triathlon Australia is now in a healthy financial
position, with a prudential reserve which is well on the
way to achieving our aim of having an equivalent of
twelve months operating expenses in reserve.
Our investment in human resources during the year
included the appointment of Kate Gallop and Joelie
Chisholm to ongoing roles with the national association.
Joelie, a former Chief Financial Officer in Great Britain,
was engaged on a part-time basis as our National
Manager, Corporate Services while Kate, who had
already spent four months volunteering in the office as
the project officer for the Web / Database project was
engaged on a full time basis as a Project Coordinator.
Alex Fehon, National Manager, Participation and
Membership and Craig Redman, National Manager,
Athlete Development both continued to be employed on
a full-time basis. Michael Flynn and Shaun Stephens
continued to provide leadership of the High
Performance program through their employment at the
Australia Sports Commission. I thank all of the staff for
their enthusiasm and willingness to do whatever was
needed during the year.
Our office location in Mascot, with its close proximity to
Mascot Station and Sydney airport provided easy access
for staff, visitors and stakeholders. Our co-location with
Basketball Australia and “next door neighbour” location
with Cycling Australia, meant we felt part of a small
community of National Sporting Organisations.
Our office computing resources were upgraded during
the year with new desktops, a new server and a more
reliable service and maintenance arrangement with IT
service provider, Systemcraft Pty Limited.
The creation of several new Board subcommittees has
ensured that our activities are informed by a range of
perspectives, and driven by the expertise of those
appointed to the committees. During the year, the
following committees were in operation:
High Performance Committee
Elite Athlete Selection Committee
Age Group Committee
Age Group Selection Committee
Finance Committee
National Technical Committee
Sydney ITU World Championship Series Race
Committee
A comprehensive tender process for the provision of a
new, contemporary website and member registration
data base was undertaken by an appointed project team
during the year. Eleven tender responses were received,
and after careful consideration, Active Network Inc were
selected and appointed as Triathlon Australia’s
information technology partner. Representatives from
Active Network worked closely with our staff between
January and June to ensure the website and member
registration database were launched prior to the new
membership year.
We continue to benefit from an excellent relationship
with the Australian Sports Commission who were strong
supporters of our sport during the year. This
relationship was formalised in May 2011 by the signing
of a Sport Collaboration Agreement between our two
organisations. The Agreement provides for significant
financial support and professional expertise from the
ASC. I thank Melissa Backhouse as our Senior Sport
Partnership Manager at the ASC for facilitating this
excellent relationship.
The establishment of relationships with our key
stakeholder groups was a priority for me during the first
six months of my employment. I travelled to each state,
except NT, to meet the staff and Board of the State and
Territory Triathlon Associations. I also met with the
Australian Olympic Committee, the Australian Sports
Anti-Doping Agency and the Australian Commonwealth
Games Association to ensure productive ongoing
relationships. Event Organisers were invited to a
meeting on 19 May 2011 to discuss a range of issues of
relevance to them and to foster an ongoing sense of
cooperation between the national association and the
clubs and private event organisers who plan and conduct
races in which our members can compete.
PARTICIPATION
The announcement that triathlon was one of 23 sports
to be granted additional funding from the Australian
Sports Commission for participation initiatives was
recognition of our strong age group tradition and our
(Continued on page 10)
10
ability to attract and retain people of all ages and
abilities to the sport of triathlon. The additional funding
was conditional upon the development and acceptance
of a Participation Plan for 2011 to 2016. The plan was
developed and endorsed in June 2010. Key elements of
the plan, to be implemented over the next five years
are:
The continuation and enhancement of existing
participation activities such as the Active After Schools
Communities program, the training and accreditation of
Level 0 and Level 1 coaches, the training and
accreditation of technical officials, the provision of
novice skills development programs by clubs and the
preparation of an age group team for ITU World
Championship events.
The creation of two new participation programs:
Trystars for young participants, and
Try-a Tri for adult participants
The new programs will be developed nationally,
supported by high quality resources and delivered
locally through triathlon clubs and other accredited
service providers.
Additional human resources at the national and state
level to develop and enhance participation
opportunities.
During the year we continued to invest resources in the
provision of services to our age group athletes including
the selection, preparation and support of age group
teams at ITU World Championship events. Full details of
Age group activities can be found later in this report.
MEMBERSHIP
The aim of our Membership Key Result Area is to grow
membership by increasing the number of new members
and retaining existing members. The introduction of the
new member database in June 2011 provides an
enhanced member interface with our national and state
associations. Most importantly, it will enable the
collection and collation of reliable membership data.
In addition to our eight State and Territory Association
members, 9735 individual members joined Triathlon
Australia during the year. This was a 20% increase on
the 8089 individual members of the previous year. For
the first time, priority member-only periods of race
entry ensured that annual members of the association
had the opportunity to secure entry to popular events
which sell out quickly when opened to the general
population.
Discussions with the State and Territory Triathlon
Associations about moving to a model of national
membership progressed steadily during the latter part
of the year. I feel confident that with some further
thinking and development, an alternative approach to
membership will be implemented prior to the 2012-
2013 membership year.
The introduction of a four tier structure for One Day
Memberships, based on the nature and length of the
race ensured that the costs of running our association
are more fairly shared between annual and one day
members.
EVENTS
The provision of a broad range of sanctioned events for
members is a key priority of the association. From
enticer novice events, through sprint and olympic
distance to half and full iron distance races, our
members had 483 sanctioned races from which to
choose during the year. Notably, the Weetbix Kids
Tryathlon Series and the BRW Corporate Series
continued to offer excellent “front doors” to our sport
for participants and their supporters. These series
attracted 16,000 and 11,000 participants respectively.
The Australian National Triathlon Championship Series
was launched in 2010, comprising three premier, high
quality races held in Geelong, Mooloolaba and Sydney.
Each of these races combined Elite and Junior ITU points
races, with a large scale age group race. Each of the
races in the National Championship Series offered
significant prizemoney and live television coverage. To
add to the international prestige of the Series, the
Mooloolaba race was awarded the right to host the
opening race of the 2010 ITU World Cup Series. The
Sydney race was granted the right to be the opening leg
of the ITU’s top tier race series - the ITU Dextro Energy
World Championship Series.
The National Technical Committee provided excellent
leadership and direction to ensure the safety and
fairness of triathlon events in Australia. During the year
they led substantial reviews of the Sanctioning
Documents and the Race Competition Rules. Trained
and accredited Technical Officials were on duty at every
11
sanctioned race. I appreciate particularly the tireless
efforts of Jacqui Kenny as Chair of the National Technical
Committee and the enthusiasm with which members of
the committee embrace the critical role which they fulfil
for our sport.
HIGH PERFORMANCE
Our elite athletes continued to perform well on the
world stage. Their performances are highlighted in this
report.
Triathlon was one of 26 sports designated by the
Australian Sports Commission as “high priority” which
resulted in the securing of $400k additional funding for
High Performance per annum. The receipt of the
additional funding was conditional on the development
of a comprehensive High Performance Plan for 2011 to
2016. The plan was developed and accepted in May
2011.
In order to ensure our High Performance Plan reflected
our aim of “sustained international success”, an external
review of the structure of the high performance
program was undertaken in December 2010.
Recommendations from the review resulted in a number
of key changes to the structure and management of the
program including:
The secondment of Michael Flynn from the AIS to
Triathlon Australia as our National Performance
Director.
The establishment of a National Centre of Excellence on
the Gold Coast to operate as a camps based training and
sport sciences services centre.
The establishment of a National Talent Academy to be
coordinated by Craig Redman as National Manager,
Athlete Development and managed on a daily basis
across four geographical areas by four National Talent
Coaches.
BRAND
The development of our new website was a significant
step forward in promoting our brand and the value it
offers to the triathlon and general community. The
website will enable much better communication with
our members, our key stakeholders and the broader
triathlon community. It will form an excellent platform
from which to promote and increase the profile of our
sport to potential partners and sponsors.
Ian Hanson of Hanson Media Group was engaged during
the year to increase the profile of the sport through the
mainstream and sport specific media. Relationships
were maintained with the three major triathlon printed
magazines and principal on-line news providers. Regular
newsletters and newsflashes kept members informed of
triathlon news.
Our inaugural “Celebration of Champions” Awards
Dinner was held following the Sydney World
Championship Series race on 10th April. At the dinner,
we recognized and celebrated our five reigning World
Champions and reigning Olympic Champion in front of
220 members of the triathlon community. We were
proud that the Federal Minister for Sport, Senator Mark
Arbib and the Federal Leader of the Opposition, the
Honourable Tony Abbott joined us at the dinner. We
were also delighted to welcome triathlon legends John
McLean and Dave Orlowski to Sydney for the evening’s
celebrations.
SUMMARY
I believe we made good progress on a number of
important areas for our sport during 2010-2011. The
year provided a mixture of new initiatives and
consolidation of existing activities. In particular, the
development of our five year plans for High Performance
and Participation will ensure those areas of our Strategic
Plan have a strong foundation for future development.
I would like to finish by acknowledging the absolute
commitment of our national Board to the development
of the sport of triathlon in Australia. Over the year, they
have spent many hours in face to face meetings and
teleconferences. Their thoughtful leadership and careful
stewardship have increased the stability of the sport and
identified new opportunities, enabling the sport to
develop and flourish. Peter Hedge is truly dedicated
President who gave up much of his personal, training
and business time over the year to assist me in my
understanding of the key issues facing the sport and our
association. I thank Peter for his wise and consistent
counsel throughout the first year of my employment
I have enjoyed, and been challenged by my first year in
the role, and I look forward to continue leading triathlon
into the future.

MESSAGE FROM
THE AUSTRALIAN SPORTS COMMISSION
The countdown to an Olympic and Paralympic Games is an exciting time for Australians. As London 2012 looms on our horizon there is much work to be done to fine tune our preparations.
The Australian Government and the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) continue to work closely with Olympic and Paralympic sports, along with the Australian Olympic and Paralympic Committees to ensure our athletes get the best possible support.
Through the Green and Gold project, $3.85 million in extra funding has been provided for our top Olympic athletes and teams to boost their training and preparations for London 2012.
A true sign that Australian sport is united in working together is the endorsement from the Commonwealth, State and Territory Governments of the National Sport and Active Recreation Policy Framework.
What this means is that for the first time all governments have agreed on priorities for sport.
Underpinning the Framework is the new National Institutes System Intergovernmental Agreement which unites our National Institutes of Sport and national sporting organisations to work hand-in-hand to achieve common national high performance objectives to maximise resourcing and expertise in support of the development of world class athletes to achieve international success.
This Framework is supported by significant additional investment in sport by the Australian Government. The 2011-
12 Budget will provide $300 million to support the full spectrum of sport from grass roots through to elite competition.
Support by the Australian Government will enable a more
collaborative long term focus to drive reform within Australian
sport and importantly make the connection between
Australian’s standing on the podium and young Australians
participating in sport.
This is an exciting and challenging time for Australian sport.
The Australian Sports Commission looks forward to working
with all sporting organisations, the state and territory
institutes and academies of sport and state and territory
departments of sport and recreation, to promote access to,
and participation in, sport across the community and support
Australia’s continued sporting success.

The support and cooperation shown by the ACT Government and the National Capital Authority (NCA) in working with TACT to provide alternative race venues where possible and in clearing the lake of de-bris at our race venue for the January events.
The positive contribution and continuing support by the club presidents and their committees.

During the year, our elite athletes produced outstanding results as follows
Emma Moffatt - 2010 ITU World Champion
Emma had another great year to back up her 2009 World Championship victory. She raced 8 major races with a top 3 finish in
six major races, which included a 2nd place in the ITU WCS final in Budapest. Emma did not finish out of the top 10 in any race.
Emma Jackson - 2010 ITU World under 23 Champion
Emma was still eligible for the ITU Junior racing in 2010. However,she had a very good year in which she showed that in the
near future she will be performing against the best females in the world. Her efforts in three ITU WCS races gave notice of
much better things to come. In extremely poor conditions in Budapest, Emma showed her class in the ITU U23 Championships
with a great swim to set up a super run leg to finish nearly 60 seconds ahead of her nearest competitor.
Ashleigh Gentle – 2010 ITU Junior Champion
Ashleigh achieved a stunning victory in the ITU Junior World Championship race, with an impressive run leg, to dominate the
World Championships. Her victory capped of a superb history of junior results for Ashleigh as she had previously been a silver
medallist in this event.
Emma Snowsill – 2010 ITU WCS Final winner
After a challenging year with sickness and other concerns, Emma finished the year as she had started it with a great victory in
the Budapest race to add to her excellent victory in the Hy- Vee race earlier in the year. Emma showed the Triathlon world that
in her best form she is still the athlete that all female athletes should gauge themselves against.
Brad Kahlefeldt – 2010 ITU WCS Bronze medallist
Brad again had another very consistent year with a 5th place finish in the ITU WCS final with 7 other top 10 finishes including a
win at the ITU Mooloolaba World Cup and a podium finish in the ITU WCS Seoul race.
Chris McCormack and Mirinda Carfrae – 2010 Ironman Champions
Chris and Mirinda showed the world just what outstanding athletes they are this year. Their winning performances in the 2010
World Ironman Championships in Hawaii following on from their previous performances should make the Australian triathlon
community proud. Chris and Mirinda lead our Australian long distance athletes who continue to show the rest of the world the
calibre of athletes which Australia has produced. Congratulations to all of them.

The inaugural Youth Olympic Games (YOG) was con-
ducted in Singapore from 14th to 26th August 2010.
3,600 athletes aged from 14 to 18 years participated in
26 sports. Triathlon consisted of 32 males and 32 fe-
males aged 17 or 18 as at 31 December 2010.
The maximum number of athletes any NOC can field in
the YOG Triathlon is one male and one female. The
YOG Oceania qualifier was conducted in Canberra, ACT
on Saturday 23rd January 2010. It is worth noting that
the ITU awarded one male and one female automatic
performance spot to the Oceania region. Therefore
Australia was racing New Zealand for the sole auto-
matic Oceania spot.
Ellie Salthouse (QLD) and Michael Gosman (ACT) were
successful in gaining the Oceania spot for the 2010
YOG and were subsequently nominated by TA to the
AOC. They were the first athletes across all sports to
have their membership to the AOC YOG Team con-
firmed.
Women’s Race - 750m Swim/20km Bike/5km Run
The women’s triathlon commenced at 9am on day 1 of
competition. As the women’s triathlon event was the
first medal event of the inaugural YOG it had a large
media interest and was attended by senior AOC staff
including the Chef de Mission - Nick Green, AOC Direc-
tor of Sport - Fiona de Jong and AOC Secretary General
- Craig Phillips. Ellie after a slow start in the swim pow-
ered through the bike and run to win the silver medal
and kick start the Olympic program. This was an out-
standing result for Ellie in her first international event
and she pushed the much more experienced Japanese
athlete (5 x Dextro ITU World Championships Series
Starts) all the way to the finish.
2nd - Ellie Salthouse (Brisbane, QLD). Coached by War-
wick Dalziel
Men’s Race - 750m Swim/20km Bike/5km Run
Michael did not have a great start losing his goggles as
he dived into the water and was subsequently at the
rear of the field early in the swim. A bunch of 8-10 ath-
letes came out of the water and went up the road on
the bike. Michael missed this pack and was caught do-
ing most of the work in the chase pack along with an
athlete from South Africa. The lead pack gained 45-
50seconds on the first lap, had a 60second lead on se-
cond lap and blew out to 1min 40seconds by the end
of the bike. All in all Michael was happy with his 12th
position and race and learnt a lot from his first interna-
tional race. Michael went on the finish 2nd at the ITU
World Duathlon Championships in Scotland and 13th
at ITU World Triathlon Championships in Budapest.
12th - Michael Gosman (Canberra, ACT). Coached by

die Dillon (NZL) & Aaron Barclay (NZL).The race was
decided by a sprint between Team Oceania 1 & Team
Europe 1. Team Oceania finished with a well-deserved
silver medal.

The ANTCS was designed to be the premier race series for Triathlon Australia members. Members were offered guaranteed entry to all three races if they entered via the ‘Three race series’ entry pro-cess. At the Elite level, the series offered high quality sprint and olympic distance races, providing signifi-cant prize money, ITU ranking points and live television coverage. The Mooloolaba event was desig-nated as the Australian Elite and Age Group National Olympic Distance Championships. Mooloolaba hosted two ITU points races - the opening race in the ITU World Cup series and an ITU Continental Cup race. The Sydney race had the honour of being designated the opening leg of the ITU Dextro Energy World Championship Series. For age group athletes, the series offered points that would determine the National Series Champi-on in each age group, and contribute to qualification for the 2011 Australian Age Group team at the Triathlon Olympic Distance World Championships in Beijing. The series winners were recognised and presented at the Celebration of Champions Awards Dinner, held on the evening of the final Sydney race.

2010 saw the launch of the Australian National Duathlon Series featuring 8 high quality duathlon events hosted by
each state and territory across Australia.
The Series aims to create an Australia wide competition which provides opportunity for Duathlon competitors to
travel and experience a wide variety of courses and conditions.
Participants in the series accrued points to determine the Australian Duathlon Series Champion in each age group.
Points accrued during the series were also used to determine qualification for the Australian Age Group team for
the ITU Duathlon World Championships.
In 2010 the series attracted some high profile athletes, and received a lot of positive feedback due to the quality of
event conditions and the high level of competition.
Race reports all had a common theme to them; stating that each event provided an excellent course and the major-
ity of competitors had a great day out with elite duathletes indicating that they were looking forward to the events
of next season.

Another season of solid racing from Australia’s most talent juniors continued throughout the 2011 summer national se-ries. The racing kicked off with the 2XU Super Sprint Race Weekend in December where the event was hammered by electrical storms with lightening, wind and rain. This followed with the Devonport Triathlon where most of Northern Tasmania, Victo-ria and Southern NSW were hit with massive floods. The water quality and debris/flooding in the Mersey River turned the Devonport race into a duathlon. Then onto Geelong for the 2011 Australian ITU Junior Champi-onships in February where gale force winds forced the post-
ponement of all events to the Sunday. To top the series off all athletes were facing a tsunami warning on the morning of the ITU Oceania Championships in Wellington, New Zealand – What a Year! The series winners are determined by a point score based on the athletes best three results out of the four national series events for ITU Junior Men and after consideration by the TA Board the ITU Junior Women’s race in Devonport was declared a non-event therefore the best two result from three races counted towards the series winner in the junior women. The 2011 Australian Junior Triathlon Series consisted of the following four events:

CELEBRATION OF CHAMPIONS AWARDS DINNER
2011 saw the launch of the inaugural Annual Awards
dinner. The dinner was held at the Intercontinental
Hotel in Sydney on the evening of Sunday 10th April
2011, following the Dextro Energy Triathlon ITU
World Championships Series opening race and final
race of the Australian National Triathlon Champion-
ship Series for Age Group athletes.
This theme of the evening was the ‘Celebration of
Champions’, and featured a celebration of Austral-
ia’s six reigning World and Olympic champions:
Emma Snowsill
Emma Moffatt
Emma Jackson
Ashleigh Gentle
Mirinda Carfrae
Chris McCormack
The night incorporated the annual awards for our
Elite athletes; crowned our new Australian Series
Champions; and recognised our Age Group World
Champions and Junior Series Champions.
Winners of our Elite annual awards were:
• Emma Jackson – winner of the Chris Hewitt Emerg-
ing Athlete award
• Emma Moffatt & Emma Snowsill – winners of the
Female Individual Performance of the Year award
43
• Chris McCormack – winner of the Male Individual
Performance of the Year award
• Mirinda Carfrae – winner of the Athletes Athlete of
the Year award
In attendance were special VIP guests including Feder-
al Minister for Sport, The Honourable Mr Mark Arbib,
Leader of the Opposition, The Honourable, Mr Tony
Abbott, NSW Minister for Sport, The Honourable Mr
Graham Annesley MP, and key representatives from
the International Triathlon Union, the Australian
Olympic Committee, and the Australian Sports Com-
mission.
Some of the world’s top triathletes attended including
New Zealand’s Ms Andrea Hewitt and Great Britain’s
Mr Alistair Brownlee, and the full Australian Elite
team that had raced that weekend.
Several of Australia’s former World Champions includ-
ing Ms Jackie Fairweather, Mr Craig Alexander, Mr
Miles Stewart, and Mr Peter Robertson were amongst
the 220 guests present to celebrate the success of Tri-
athlon in Australia.
Key table sponsors of the dinner were Active Net-
work, Urban Hotel Group, and USM Events.
A silent auction was held on the night to raise money
for two very worthy causes, The John Mclean Founda-
tion, and the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation. The
auction items were the iconic Australian ‘green and
gold’ race suite; two male suits signed by Brad Kahle-
feldt, Courtney Atkinson, and Brendan Sexton and
two female suits signed by Emma Moffatt, Emma
Snowsill, Emma Jackson and Ashleigh Gentle. The auc-
tion raised a total amount of $4,000 to split between
the charities.
It was a night of great entertainment, awards and cel-
ebration for our guests from the international and
Australian triathlon and sport communities, and a
night that will be built upon for future years.
