Hi All,
The
Waterfront precinct again proved to be an ideal location for our first
aquathlon format event for the season. With storms threatening around us
but coming to nothing, we got underway with lots of supporters on hand to
encourage our competitors.
Race
directing was a collaborative effort. Our thanks to Bertram Birk who got the
ball rolling and to David McLeod who took over race day duties. A huge thank
you also to Belinda Birk who was again everywhere and ensured that our members
and sponsors were well looked after at the Waterfront.
Dave &
Belinda were ably assisted by roster and race day volunteers and we thank them
all. Did you notice some of our aid station volunteers doing a terrific
job are actually too young to join up, yet they have a very good understanding
of our sport J. Next generation triathletes
for sure.
THANK YOU

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …

two weeks of doing nothing you can feel your muscles losing the battle
… you
suddenly realise you have a collection of unused swim caps that rivals Amart
… you
enjoy a good solid brick
Safe training,
Cheers,
