Malta triathlon probably experienced its best result today at the MOC Awards. A total of 5 triathletes were nominated for these awards.
These awards are very important for us athletes. They mean a recognition to all the hard work, time, money, headaches invested in our training.
The results for Malta Triathlon are as follow:
Dermot Galea - Bronze Award
Keith Galea - Bronze Award
Fabio Spiteri - Bronze Award
Danica Spiter - Bronze Award
Mark Zammit - Silver Award
The cherry on the cake was surely the GOLD AWARD for the National Team (Dermot, Danica, Mark) for our Gold medal in the team event earlier this year in Leithenstain. I am certainly very pleased with this award, for the team effort and also for my individual award.
Triathlon has made gaint steps forward in the last 3 years thanks to the big efforts by the Malta Triathlon Associations, local clubs like my own club Birkirkara St. Joseph and the newly established Triathlon section at St. Patricks, and also individual efforts by athletes to strengthen the participation in our sport which once, not so long ago, totalling a few individuals.
I would like to thank my sponsors, supporters (especially some special ones in the UK), my club and association, my parents and my girlfriend Johanna for their constant support and understanding. Special thank-you for my mum who picked up the award in my absence while I am enjoying the fresh UK weather!
Well done to all!!
2011 here we come..............
