GOLD Coast’s Ashleigh Gentle capped a big weekend by winning the Oceania Cup at the Mooloolaba Triathlon festival yesterday.

After winning the 5km Twilight Run on Friday night and competing in the 1km Ocean Swim on Saturday, Gentle produced an impressive display in yesterday’s continental race.

On the back of a blistering run leg (32.11), Gentle cruised to the line in 2.03.25, to finish almost two minutes ahead of Natalie Van Coevorden, with Ellie Salthouse a further minute behind.

Meanwhile, Mitchell Robins claimed honours in the men’s Oceania Cup division.

Robins produced the best time on the bike and was strong during the run leg to stop the clock at 1.51.54, nine seconds ahead of Ryan Fisher.

Peter Kerr was third, just two seconds behind.
