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!

World Run day date set

World Run day has been set for 2011 at November 6th.  We will celebrate this great day with our annual fun run.

Weetbix Tryathlon is in Devonport on March 20th
