NSW Endurance Championships - Collaroy

22/9/07 - As if the monster distances weren't enough of an onbstacle to conquer at the NSW Endurance Championships today, a howling southerly wind caused havoc amongst competitors at Collaroy on Sydney's northern beaches.

And it was North Bondi's Candice Falzon who proved her mettle by putting in a stellar performance to walk away with a handful of medals from the event.

Falzon's efforts were a big boost to the North Bondi charge to the overall club pointscore (83 pts), with the iconic club claiming victory from Terrigal (74 pts) and Bronte (57 pts).

With Falzon not contesting the Ironwoman, Thirroul's Ashley Russell powered to her second victory of the day, beating home 2006 champion Jessica Parr (Terrigal).

Other standout performers at the NSW Endurance Championships included:

  • Lauren Hall (MacMasters Beach) 1st U17 Surf Race and Board, 2nd Ironwoman
  • Ed Gourley (Terrigal) 1st U15 Ironman and Board, 2nd Surf Race
  • Jeff Banks (Fairy Meadow) 1st 30-39 Yrs Ironman and Ski, 2nd Surf Race
  • Noelene Young (Black Head) 1st 50 Yrs+ Ironwoman, Board, Ski, Beach Run
