Well done to all of our athletes for stepping outside their comfort zone, pushing beyond their imits (we knew they could do it!) and giving it their absolute all. They will all be walking away from the weekend with a sense of pride and accomplishment, with a new level of fitness and with a few more friends and fellow crazy triathletes to share in their upcoming journies
We have a few thank yous to share and must acknowledge:
* Coach Gaz - who was there for everyone, stepped up and made it through every session (contrary to what his body wanted to do), ensured athletes were looked after, patients knew exactly when to take their medication and for being a general all round great Coach. Oh...and did we mention that he did ALL the vacuuming. We have photographic evidence as we're sure his wife would also like to see this phenomenon.
* Coach Steph - who although couldn't do much training, was still on the ground, ready and available to answer all of your questions, make sure you were in the right spots and basically manage the campsite whilst you were all out getting it done. And really..the icing on the cake was ensuring you guys and gals had your personal paparazzi on hand to get just the right shot!
* Andy - I'm sure many of you are praising the work of A.Wood-Rich for getting your bikes in sparkling condition. And he also stepped in with any bike maintenance, Garmin mapping or IT issues or pun-generating banter. He's THAT guy!
* Narelle - for taking the time on her annual leave to bake the deliciousness that was our morning and afternoon teas. We noticed a few athletes packing a goodie bag for their trip home!
