Shannon Eckstein did everything he could to claim his 9th Ironman Series title, taking out
the final round of the Ironman Series in Newcastle. All he could do is
wait to see who filled the minor places to seal his fate but
unfortunately Ali Day followed in 2nd place which was enough to secure
him his maiden title with Shannon trailing by just 1 point in the
overall standings. Tanyn Lydon finished in 9th place overall just
missing out on automatic qualification in to the series next season on a
count back. After missing 2 rounds of the series with injury, Caine
Eckstein will be hoping for a wild card in to the series next year or he
will have to qualify through the trials. 
In
the women's series, Rebecca Creedy had her best series to date with a
race victory in Round 4 along with consistent results throughout to
finish runner up in the overall standings. Harriet Brown also showed her
consistency finishing in 3rd place overall with Courtney Hancock in 4th
place and Maddy Dunn in 6th place. All of these girls have earned
automatic qualification in to the series next season.
