A much needed drop of rain yesterday and this morning did not deter 34 racers getting out there today on the typically quiet Noosa Tri weekend.
It was so nice and cool out there today one of our new competitors decided to do the full run course at the intermediate race (maybe accidentally). Well done Billie and Amy on your first races 🙂
Thanks for everyone’s patience and extra hands with the committee this morning (7 down) to help the race run as smooth as possible. We weren’t able to offer the usual random prize draws, but will work something out for next week. I think someone with the name that rhymes with Marcel Van Camping requested a Twinnies bottle 😉
On a technical note, please remember to have lights front and back (marshals are watching) and watch out for cars in the mounting bike area, there were around 6 this morning.
Have a great race to everyone up at Noosa and look forward to the teams race next weekend.
