Indoor Rowing Tri-Series Underway in Traralgon
Wednesday, 28th July 2010

Traralgon hosted the first round of the Rowing Victoria - Concept 2 Indoor Rowing Tri-Series last Saturday the 24th of July.

Athletes from around the State came together to battle with the clock over distances of 100m, 500m and 2000m.

Competition was close, and a number of athletes fought for overall victory in the Men's events. James Plunkett was fastest in the 100m event in 15:8 seconds, Tom Sellings pulled a quick 1:24 over 500m and Duncan Paterson took out the 2000m event in 6:42.

In the women's events, Doreen Gallagher was quickest over 100m - 19 seconds, while Fiona Munsen was first across the line in the 500m and 2000m - 1:40 and 7:43 respectively (see pictures from the event).

Age group leaders over 2000m carry the coveted 'blue jersey' into Round 2 of the Tri-Series in Geelong, which will be held on the 21st of August. Entries for Geelong are now open through the Rowing Victoria website.
