Records Tumble at 2019 SunSmart Lake Argyle Adventure Race!
Solo's had flat and fast conditions on Friday, which assisted in a new overall record time of 4:23:25 being set by Darwin's Kyle Gear - also setting new swim and kayak records along the way. Sebastian Pufke, young local running star, came home in second place, setting a run course record. First female athlete was Jana Van Zyl, who was also part of the large contingent of Australian Defense personal who participated in the 2019 event - Great to see so many ADF personal here competing.
Friday ended with the screening of some inspiring adventure films back at the Resort - ensuring a further dose of Adventure for all involved.
A record team field hit the course Saturday morning, again in calm and warm conditions. An overall record was set of just under four hours for the team's adventure, with swim and run records being broken during the day. Well done to local Team Trifecta, taking the win and ensuring a local team victory. It was great to see so many juniors coming through the system and competing very well in the Team's Adventure - well done. At 2pm the run/mt bike 'enticer' got underway, with a number of competitors backing up from the teams and it was the Pufke father/son team leading the way, with some impressive times again from our juniors. Finally by 3:30pm it was time for the chaos of 100+ juniors to get a taste of Adventure in the Junior Adventure - expertly co-ordinated by Sue Cottle. The juniors ducked/weaved/and slid their way around the course - with smiles all around.
Saturday evening included the presentations dinner and live music late into the evening. Sunday morning saw a few hardy competitors, including some of our Solo's back out to tackle the Mountain Bike Shoot-out.
Congratulations to all our competitors and a huge thanks to all our volunteers and sponsors who make the adventure happen!
