Hi All,
We had a
fantastic turnout for our first event of 2015 at Lake Alex on Sunday.
A huge
thank you to Aquathlon RD Barry Sullivan for organising this event for us.
Shout out also to our wonderful volunteers who covered check in, post race
refreshments, water stations etc and to the Blue Cycles
team for being on hand and helping out. We also had St John ambulance and
Surf Lifesaving present to ensure the safety of our competitors.
We welcomed
a number of new and returning members and had still others on the sidelines
checking out “how we do things” – they were inspired!
