After months of training, significant financial and family investment club
member Dan Holmes headed off to Mooloolaba (his first Olympic distance
event). As a member of the trauma response unit at the Royal Darwin
Hospital Dan got a call on Saturday afternoon saying he was booked on the
evening flight to head over to Vanuatu. So with 30 minutes until
transition closes he goes and gets his bike out, packs it up and leaves the
country. Dan was very disappointed to be a DNS for the race but is also
happy to be able to use his medical training to assist those how have been
through Cyclone Pam.

Anzin is also in Vanuatu with the trauma response unit. Stay safe
