Natalie Sterk, who won the women’s division of the Standard Bank 5150 Ekurhuleni Triathlon, last Sunday, heads out of Germiston Lake onto the cycle section of the course.
It was a hot day in the city last Sunday as over 900 athletes tackled the gruelling Standard Bank 5150 Ekurhuleni Triathlon.
The race, the second instalment of the Standard Bank 5150 African Triathlon Series, was part of the iconic Ironman series, one of the world’s most challenging endurance races.
The main event included a 1 500m swim in Germiston Lake, a 40km cycling route along the N17 highway and a 10km run through the streets of Germiston.
The race, which has started and finished at the lake for several years now, was once again one to remember with athletes starting off with a rolling start swim in windy conditions, which caused choppy waters.
The 20 degree Celsius water temperature and 32 degree Celsius air temperature set the scene for a number of thrilling battles between athletes.
But it was Michael Ferreira and Natalie Sterk who came out on top to win the men’s and women’s races, respectively.
Results in the men’s event:
• Michael Ferreira was the overall winner and first man across the line in a time of one hour, 59 minutes and five seconds.
• Adriaan Myburgh came in second in the men’s division in a time of two hours and 48 seconds.
• Darryn Whelan was the third man across the finish line in a time of two hours, three minutes and 50 seconds.
• Ewert Kleynhans was the fourth man across the finish line in a time of two hours, five minutes and 45 seconds.
• Leon Naude rounded-off the men’s podium finishes in a time of two hours, five minutes and 58 seconds.
Results in the women’s event:
• Natalie Sterk was the first woman across the finish line in a time of two hours, 17 minutes and 51 seconds.
• Toinette van Niekerk was the second woman to finish the race in a time of two hours, 20 minutes and 40 seconds.
• Sylvia van Tromp finished the race third in the women’s division in a time of two hours, 21 minutes and two seconds.
• Donne Green placed fourth in the women’s division in a time of two hours, 24 minutes and six seconds.
• Kelly Scates rounded-off the women’s podium finishes in a time of two hours, 26 minutes and 40 seconds.
The day also included a Funtri Race which saw participants completing a 400m swim, 20km cycling route and 5km run.
Carlu Prinsloo, Juan-Markus Nel and Connor Foley earned the top three positions in the men’s event, while Nadya Stolarczyk, Danica Prinsloo and Debbie O’Leary, topped the women’s rankings.
