Michelle Gailey hot on Lisa Bentley's heels at Ironman 70.3 Philippines
Hi All,
I'm sure you are all looking forward to the open water triathlon on Sunday out at the Surf Club. It's a popular event and we would like everyone registered by 7am for this one as our club AGM will take place before we start. It won't take long for the formalities to be completed and with your assistance, we can still have the race underway on time.
Due to a late glitch, we require a volunteer for timekeeping for Sunday. Any takers?
