RACE REVIEW

AM APPLETON AND ANNABEL LUXFORD BOTH STORMED AWAY TO IMPRESSIVE
VICTORIES AT THE DEEP HEAT CHALLENGE ASIA PACIFIC CHAMPIONSHIP, MELBOURNE.
LIGHTNING, THUNDER, WIND AND RAIN HAD ATHLETES HUDDLING TOGETHER UNDER SHELTER
AWAITING THE OFFICIAL WORD AS TO WHETHER THE RACE WOULD EVEN GO AHEAD THAT DAY.
BUT AS THE STORM DISSIPATED, TRIATHLETES TOOK TO THE WATER, AND SURPRISINGLY, WERE
GREETED BY THE SUN PEERING OUT FROM BEHIND THE CLOUDS WHEN THEY EXITED. HOWEVER,
THE CHANGES IN WEATHER WOULD CONTINUE TO TEST ATHLETES ALL DAY, WITH BRUTAL
CONDITIONS RETURNING DURING THE BIKE AND RUN LEGS.
