IF the smile on the face of Tamsyn Moana-Veale was anything to go by, Sunday’s success in the third round of the 2018-19 2XU Triathlon Series was clearly one she enjoyed.

The star Bathurst triathlete covered the sprint course in Saint Kilda – a 600 meters swim, 26.7 kilometre cycle and 5km run - in a time of one hour, 20 minutes, 24.3 seconds to pick up the elite female category win.

She was first out of the water, clocking a 12:31.2 split, then worked with two other competitors on the bike leg to gap the rest of the field.

Moana-Veale then powered through the run to finish 49 seconds clear of her nearest rival.
