It's one thing to be the director of an ARC Centre of Excellence — and all power to Philippa Maddern at UWA, who'll direct our Centre for the History of Emotions. But it's another thing altogether to be the director of the only Centre that will be based at Melbourne *and* to come 7th in the World Triathlon Championships in Budapest. OK, so it was the Veterans' division, or some such, but this is the feat accomplished by my friend Geoff Taylor in the Physics department, who is not only part of the team working on the Hadron Collider in Switzerland, but shaved 2 minutes off his PB in the event; and a full 3 minutes off his biking split.
Congratulations, Geoff!
Hmm. And on a day when I'm lurking at home, not even going for a walk, and catching up on emails...

Perhaps it was Master's division? That generally means over-40 (at least in running) and that's actually an extremely competitive division. So that's quite an accomplishment!
Congratulations, Geoff!
