2011 Weetbix Tryathlon - a great day had by all

Thank you so much Cass for organising a team to go down to such a great event.  All the training was worthwhile and all completed the tryathlon successfully.  It was a bit chaotic in the transition area and running the hill twice was a killer for some but beautiful weather and smooth running made the day very special!
