CONGRATULATIONS to all who raced Busso across both the full and half distances. We are SO PROUD of you all and hope you are just as proud of your efforts, both in the lead up with all the hard work you put in but also on the day, executing your races with smiles and high fives the whole way! A shout out also goes to all the supporters who lined the course on race day and kept everyone at home updated! The rest of us in Melbourne were cheering pretty hard, whilst also being very jealous of the blue sky and sunshine as the rain fell horizontally on the first day of “summer”! Congratulations to our first timers Sebastian, Raf, Raph, and Liza - you are an Ironman! Kudos to Eddy for the fastest swim of the TA athletes in 1:00:13, beating his time from last year; to Tilders on the fastest bike in 5:15:19; and Sebastian for the fastest run at 4:02:15! Congratulations to our first timers for the 70.3 in Jen and Janine, and Monty doing the swim/bike combo in a team with Andy. And to Sheridan for securing a spot to the 70.3 World Championships in Taupo, NZ, in 2020! What a day! We hope you are all enjoying some well-deserved rest and celebration and we look forward to welcoming you back home and hearing your race stories over the coming weeks! Check out Michelle Grocock's race report from the weekend in the link below.

We are gearing up for Race #2 of the 2XU Triathlon Series in Sandringham this weekend, the last race of the series for 2019! Despite the first day of summer feeling more like the depths of winter, the weather is looking good for Sunday and we have yet another great Try The Tri crew getting set for their first ever triathlon. We look forward to another awesome race weekend with plenty of racers and supporters out there. For those of you racing this weekend, if it’s your first time or it’s been a while, don’t forget to check the TA checklist to make sure you don’t forget anything. As always, we need helpers for the future of our sport...the kids race! If you are yet to see these kids race, it’s something you don’t want to miss - they are some of the most resilient and bravest athletes you’ll see out on race day!

As we hurtle towards the end of the year, the final call for ambassador nominations is here (before we vote!), it's also time to get your TA Christmas Party ticket, your hell week jersey and put those hell week dates in your diary!
