E NEW 21 OCTOBER 2015
Our juniors had a ball at their event on Sunday! A huge thank you to junior co-ordinator Melissa Lind and her band of enthusiastic volunteers for their combined efforts to ensure all the youngsters had a positive swim bike run experience. This weekend will see the eagerly awaited Super Sprint handicap take place. We haven't had a handicap event for a number of years and it is great to see this exciting format back on our calendar. Be prepared for a whole new experience if you haven't yet done one. The aim of course, is to have everyone cross the line at the same time and our handicappers Brett Verity and Gary Wall have been putting in the hard yards working out start groups. The need to have all handicaps sorted for the event means entry will close earlier ie midday this Friday and no late entries will be taken, so do get your skates on and get your online entry sorted (see details below).
