"I will be there every early morning session, in the rain, and the cold to help motivate and push you to achieve your goals for this year!"
- Ben Marples

A solid weekend for us at Race 4 of the 2XU series, with over 70 Tri-Alliance athletes competing in rough swim conditions and many podium finishers. It was amazing to see so many new faces, and to welcome back some old faces representing in their Tri-Alliance kit.

The main event of the day was the AquaBike, with Les, Coach Gaz, and Tamara competing for the win. Gaz was the first one out of the water, but Tam was close behind and overtook him during the long and hilly T1 transition. Les was about 5 minutes behind, but we all know how fast he is on his bike. It was a close fight, with Coach Gaz coming out on top. Coach Gaz's victory didn't last long, because the real highlight was Tam finishing second female!

We also had our TTT #4 compete in their first race. You could not wipe the smiles of their faces which was so great to see. We think a few caught the triathlon bug and will be sticking around, so please make them feel welcome!

It was a busy weekend with a lot going on. THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who helped with set up and pack down, the kids race, and just showing up to cheer each other on. Enjoy your recovery week; you all deserve it.

Until next time... 😎

Updates From Cross the Waters

Michelle Grocock

"Not my day today at Tarawera Ultra. Tripped and winded myself 26km in. That would have been fine but bruised rib as well. Great day nonetheless and my second hilly marathon this year and it’s only Feb 11th!!". We're still super proud of you and looking forward to seeing your next challenge!

MEET YOUR SEASON AMBASSADORS

Meet Jo Wood-Rich & Ben Marples!

Jo Wood-Rich

I have been around triathlon and more importantly Tri-Alliance for about 14 years, on the sidelines supporting Andy in all his crazy adventures and supporting TA. I love pretty much any sport, those who know me well know that cricket is by far my favourite with AFL a close second. But I was the only kid in my family who would sit around and watch any sport and particularly loved watching the Olympics and Commonwealth games. So, watching and supporting triathlon and ironman events was awesome and I really enjoyed it. Every person I met asked me when I was going to do my first triathlon and my answer was the same "Never, I can't do that I can't swim".

My journey with Triathlon started during the lockdown in 2022, feeling unmotivated a friend suggest a triathlon. A quick google search and I found the 2XU series. So I thought, well let's go all out and do a half dozen instead of just the one! Already cycling and knowing I could float, running presented the biggest challenge, so I downloaded a couch to 5km and I got to work starting from a 90-second jog and 90-sec rest.
