Age Grouper of the Week
 
Daniel Moore sent through this weeks age grouper, here’s his email: A suggestion for age grouper of the week, my be appropriate.  My coach John Hill became the Australian Champ at Port Mc this weekend in the 50-54 age cat (despite not recovering from the flu).  He has done soooo many races this year since coming 7th in the 45-49 cat at Kona in 9.51 in 2007.

Soon after Kona, he won the 50-54 Cat. at the Western Australia IM in 9.25, (30 mins quicker than 2nd place!!!) and has since became Australian champ in all distances this season.  sprint/olympic/long course/half and ironman.

Anyway, i think he is slightly mad, after doing the IM this weekend, he's off to Canberra to do an Ultra Marathon this weekend!!!
