E NEWS 7 OCTOBER 2015



The attention of the triathlon world and that of our club has turned to the Big Island of Hawaii where we have three members (Jac Crofton, Hannah Johnston and Corinne Fabian) competing at Ironman World Championships this weekend.    

GO JAC, GO HANNAH, GO CORINNE  

The hardest part  of any ironman event is making the start line,  so hopefully the girls can now relax and enjoy their race & that famous finish line....
While the girls are slogging it out on the Queen K coming back to T2 in Kailua-Kona, we will be in action at Lake Alexander with the third of our Super Sprint Triathlon Series events.

There is plenty of time for swim, bike, run fun on Sunday at Lake A, before settling in to athlete track them to the finish line!  You can watch live coverage on the day at www.ironman.com
