Those that raced Noosa in 2018 can be quoted as famously saying, “it’ll never be worse than that!”...oh how wrong we were! Noosa Triathlon is the world’s largest Olympic Distance Triathlon with over 8,500 participants and it never ceases to disappoint...and when we say that it’s bad, really Noosa is never bad! The atmosphere is like no other and it’s probably one of the races where you’ll have the most fun, usually with a few challenges thrown in for good measure. This year the big challenge was the strongest rip even the most seasoned swimmers have ever experienced. The swim course was swiftly changed to accommodate this as much as possible but athletes took it even further, choosing to run hundreds of metres up the beach from the start line to limit the distance swimming across the rip, hoping to be carried all the way to the swim exit...where a run all the way back along the beach was waiting for us! With the swim over, and every triathlete saying “thank goodness that’s over” it was onto the bike for the incredible Noosa ride course; 20km out and 20km back with a climb up Garmin hill on the way out and a speedy descent on the way back, there’s not too many people who don’t enjoy the bike leg. The hot and steamy 10km run leg, lined with locals and their DJ desks, hoses, homemade signs, sprinklers, high fives and cheers, is hard to not enjoy...I mean, as one sign said, if Donald Trump can run, so can you! There were over 40 TA athletes taking on Noosa with many completing both or either their first Olympic Distance and first Noosa! There were great results all round but most of all, everyone completed it with a grin from ear to ear and had fun along the way which is what Noosa is ALL about! For those of you with a serious case of #FOMO, rego opens for 2020 this Thursday so don’t miss out!
