It's race week! Time has flown by and we are already sending our TTT#5 off for their first triathlon. This one is extra special as it is on our home turf! Elwood Reserve will host Round 5 of the 2XU series this weekend. Technically, we can't have a favourite race, but this race always has a great vibe!

You know the drill: we are looking for volunteers to help with tent setup on Saturday (BBQ will be provided) and for the kids race on Sunday. Details for both are provided below! If you have any questions, please contact Michelle. We are grateful for all of the assistance we receive at each race. 
We are extremely fortunate to have such a wonderful TA family!

If you haven't entered in yet? There is still time! Online Registrations Close 4pm Friday. Check out the details below on how to get your TA discount! Note, we are not on our emails 24/7 so please provide us with some time to give your discount code. 


Not competing? Why not help the future Tri-superstars by volunteering your time! Meet at 7am at the TA Tent at Elwood Reserve for a briefing in transition at 7:10am. The more, the better. Let's get around these sporting treasures!

Lastly, we wish our Bumble-Bee friend good luck for IRONMAN New Zealand! We know how excited Andy and Jo are to return to such a great race and atmosphere. 

Have a wonderful week and see you at your next session. 


GOOD LUCK ANDY!

IRONMAN New Zealand

This is the first of Andy's many IRONMAN race journeys this year.

We wish you the best of luck at IRONMAN New Zealand; we know you'll have a great time.  The atmosphere for this race is incredible and the people of Taupō  and some of the most friendly and hospitable in the world.  Can't wait to hear about your experience this year, Andy.

Are you planning a race and wondering if another TA friend will be there? Reach out to Andy and enquire about his race schedule!

Helpers Wanted - Saturday

Ambassador Benny is organising a BBQ breakfast Saturday after a course recon and pitching the club tent! GF & vegetarian options available and we encourage everyone to hang around for a coffee, as many hands make light work of the tent.
Reach out to Ben if you're happy to bring something along to share. 
Meet Ollie, Les and Ben from 8:30am for tent set up.
See you all there!

Love, Ben - '23 TA Ambassador
