Zeke Uwland beats brother Bodhi in off-season triathlon by 17 seconds
The 19-year-old Gold Coast Sun outpaced his best-and-fairest-winning brother in a head-to-head race.
Zeke got one over his older brother Bodhi at the Noosa Triathlon on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. Zeke finished ahead by 17 seconds in the 1.5km swim, 40km ride and 10km run, stealing bragging rights from Bodhi, who just won Gold Coast's best and fairest.
Vice-captain Sam Collins also competed and beat both brothers by a minute. The race was altered when sharks were spotted in the open water, so organisers replaced the swim with a 1km beach run.
Zeke, 19, said the win mattered. There's not many things I'd beat him in, so I'll take that, he told reporters.
The young Suns player impressed in his first week back at training, finishing third in the 2km time trial for first to fourth-year players.
