number of farewells happening lately including: Katie Kelly who has taken
up a new position in Newcastle; Marcus Lisle heads off shortly for Adelaide and

Marcus Lisle has bookended his time with the club with pair of duathlons.
His first club event was at Hidden Valley (2008) and his last, the duathlon at
Casuarina Beach on Sunday. Marcus has been our fastest Ironman through

missed.

Spare a thought for Shaye Hatty whose Saturday was spent conquering the Spartan

Shaye knocked it over in 9:11:55 for 10th in the Elite female
