E NEWS 16 SEPT 2015
Our Super Sprint event on Sunday was thoroughly enjoyed by all
competitors and generated a lot of excitement.
We welcomed a number of new members and some members who hadn't been
sighted for some time made a reappearance, great to have you all back out
there!
The very doable 300m swim, 13km bike, 3km run format is ideal - SWIM BIKE RUN FUN
then off for brekkie or coffee all before 8:30am - what a great way to
spend Sunday!!

volunteers who assisted on the day. We really appreciate your
efforts to make our events the success that they are.
