January News
Hi all and happy new year!
Hope you are all refreshed after the Christmas / New Year Season and ready to tackle 2012! From the talk around town there seems to be heaps of people getting ready to tackle new goals this year… whether that be competing in their first full triathlon, not walking in the 5k run of a sprint, doing a half (seems a lot of members are heading up to Cairns in June) or pulling out the big guns for an Ironman. Whatever your goals are, they’ll be heaps of things in our calendar to get you achieving them! Look out for our new calendar on the website in early February.
