Belinda Granger takes female title at URBAN 2.80.20

Belinda Granger claimed the Elite Female URBAN 2.80.20 long course title at the Geelong Multi Sport Festival on Sunday.

The athlete blitzed the field finishing 4 minutes ahead of local triathlete Suzanne Blackwell, followed by Rebecca Hoschke in third.
 
Granger set the pace early in the piece coming out of the swim just behind Michelle Mitchell, but it was her work on the bike that established a 3 minute lead into transition, ahead of both Blackwell and Hoschke.
 
Granger says she has spent her life running scared at the front of the pack: “When you get to my age, you start to doubt whether you should be doing it, but I just love this sport to death and to have a win is just a bonus.
 
“I have spent my life running scared, but I had a good run today and I’ve been working really hard to put the confidence back into my running,” said Granger.
