Hi All,
As in
previous years, the Teams Event went off in style yesterday at Lake
Alexander. We had Team Old Skool running around looking very retro, Team
Tiger’s tails were wagging, Team Pirate was brandishing the odd cutlass and
Team Sink or Swim were taking the mickey out of themselves. Team Young Guns
looked the part and Team Tropicana had to have been the best dressed, long sox
and all!
Team Fluoro
and Team Rainbow were very colourful indeed.
A big thank
you, RD Tony Cox for organising the event and thanks also to all the other
wonderful volunteers who helped out and made the morning’s mayhem enjoyable for
all.
While the
big kids were having fun, our juniors were under the watchful eye of Jason
Jones and helpers who put our younger members through their final tri on their
calendar. Great to see the skill level of the juniors increase during the
course of the series.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN ….
… when you
find yourself heading for bed at 8.30pm (often)
… the smell
of your stinky running shoes no longer bothers you
… nothing
feels as good as being ridiculously freaking fit
Cheers,
Robyn
