Ray Hunt of Yamba is pictured above demonstrating that retirement can be healthy, productive and just plain fun.

Ray will be competing between 9 -13 September 2009 on the Gold Coast, Queensland and the Lower Clarence Valley is barracking for their man as he swims, bikes and runs in the ITU Triathlon World Championships in both aquathlon and triathlon events.

Event schedule here.
Results of races will be posted after 7pm on the day at http://www.triathlon.org/

Update:


Ray finished the Aquathlon event on 9 September in 0:44.51 (with his first run coming in at 0:11:15, his swim at 0:20:30 and his second run at 0:13:05).
A mere 0:11.41 behind the elite athlete who took out first place.
Well done, Ray.

Further update:

Ray came fifth in his age group in the ITU 2009 Age Group Triathlon World Championships on 12 September, with an unofficial time of 2:30:56.
Just 0:9:31 behind the age group winner David Roadhouse (USA).
A sterling effort.
