First triathlon event for 2019 and boy was it a good one! Great weather; not too windy, not too hot, not raining (!), meant that athletes could just focus on putting their plans into action and getting the job done. And St Kilda had something for everyone – Fun Tri, Sprint and Olympic distances, Aquabike and the Kids race! We had a whopping 78 athletes racing across the day, with some of our best results to date. There were PBs a plenty, new distances conquered, boxes ticked, and First-Time finish lines feels! No shortage of the Yellow and Blue Army, both on and off the course, repping the team colours, cheering, supporting and lending a hand to the Kid-letes throughout the morning #TAFamily #SmilesForMiles Once again we are blown away with the amazingness of our athletes.
