Henry rode from bunch two in this event along with Ben Wallis, Gavin Nethery and Hugh Vaughan.
The scratch riders were Josh Ludman and Curtis Trkulja. They had the task of giving bunch two a lap start with bunch three having two laps start.
Bunch three composed Mitch Blackburn, Cameron Harrison, Harry Ludman, Mark Williams, Jason Spence, Chris Harrison and Brad Oaten.
Henry, Wallis and Nethery from bunch two held off the Ludman/Trkulja chase for the full distance, aided by the withdrawal of Trkulja at half distance.

Wallis finished fourth, ahead of Nethery with Josh Ludman just missing out on the catch and finishing sixth with the fastest time.
Callum Burge returned to local racing after a summer and autumn season of triathlon racing to win the C grade race.

Zac Peters claimed second in a close finish ahead of Doug Gray, Trent Wiseman, Kieren Harrison and Montana Doubell.
Alexis Bell was seventh, ahead of Gary Bryce, Bill Stahlhut, Adrian McMillan, Dave Gray and Garry Porter.
