This morning we had perfect conditions for our first Double Distance race of the season. No wind and mild temperatures set the scene for a great pre-Noosa hit out! Overall we had 75 participants with 37 competing in the Double Distance event which was a great roll up especially with the early 5.15am start (4.15 for Queenslanders!). Brendan Brookes was the first home with a super fast time of 1:41:00, followed by Scott Thompson in 2nd with 1:43:00 and not far behind in 3rd place was Jamie Johnson with 1:43:36. Well done to all!!

60 Seconds with Kyle Mooney
Kyle spoke to us today about his great race in the Hawaii Ironman, Kona that he competed in last week. Kyle did an amazing time of just over 10 hours in extremely harsh conditions. He said he wouldn’t be back next year but I think it’s still in his blood so maybe the year after? Well done Kyle!!
Active Kids Grant
Scott Thompson sent out an email last night to all Parents of our Junior members informing them about the Active Kids Grant with information about eligibility and how to apply. Please read below;
If you are one of the families who have indicated you would like to make use of the Active Kids Grant, the grant is now good to go but you will need to complete this form (sorry that you need to fill another form out). In doing this, you will need to have completed the process of acquiring an Active Kids Grant voucher number (you can do that here).
It’s great to see our Junior numbers increasing with so many enthusiastic young triathletes!
Happy Snaps post race
