Rhian Roxburgh leads the GOG’s to success at Ironman challenge
Report by Don Hale
The highly talented GOG Triathlon Club also had a total of eight squad members competing in the gruelling Ironman 70.3-mile race in Cascais, Portugal, last weekend, including Elizabeth Driscoll, who has dual membership with NWRRC, but Rhian Roxburgh was surely the pick of the team after claiming a podium place with a 2nd place finish in her respective age group.
A GOG club spokesman confirmed their outstanding success: “As a club, we're super proud of the eight squad members that raced Ironman 70.3 in Portugal. Every single one of them put in tremendous performances and got to run down the famous red carpet.
“With many of them overcoming injuries and sickness, just getting to the start line was an achievement, and for every one of them to finish was phenomenal. However, we must give a special shout out to our head coach Rhian Roxburgh who finished second overall in her age group.”
