Race 28 of 28

Race Report 15 March 2014

As our season comes to an end, just the Club Championship race to go, with great weather, Twinnies  numbers were down as many were away competing at Mooloolaba, or Surf Living Saving titles at Kirra. There was a bit of jubilation to be seen with quite a few people achieving their PB-whether it’s the new bike some have, or just trying to beat your husband and daughter- all in good competitive fun.

Our Intermediate competitors had their club championship today and everyone stepped up to the challenge, their course is swim 6 laps, two laps of Leisure/Darlington on the bike and then run out 1 km to near the bottom of the hill and back
