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!!

Thanks to RD Tony Cox and our fantastic band of roster and other volunteers who assisted on the day.  We really appreciate your efforts to make our events the success that they are.
