  • Comments: I had a fabulous weekend. Staying at the resort with the club was wonderful and I'm so glad I joined, even if they do still drop my every group cycle :-) I will always go to this event, if I can't race, I'll volunteer. It was full of families and it was great for my beloved to meet and chat with other long-sufferering spouses. The organisation was brilliant and not a buck is made in profit (the race fee entry in teeny) and the whole spirit of the event was awesome. The course was challenging but not gruesome. My son declared it "the best holiday, ever" and I have to agree. Anyway, I have to go back, that lake and I have some unfinished business.

  • Comments: I absolutely love this race venue and being my clubs race its even more fun! I love the party after the race, as i said its great being on the same venue as the accom so we can all walk back afterwards. I just didn't have the ability to go fast today. but the scenery and course at Karri Valley well and truly made up for the nearly last placing. at least I got my money's worth :)

  • Comments: Ok so that is a very negative race report. and I'm sorry about that. I now want to tell you all about how great the course is. I honestly can say I don't think you could find a more scenic course to do a tri on. it is in a lake surrounded by Karri Trees, the ride is an undulating ride through big hills surrounded by Karri Trees and the run actually is on trails around the lake through the Karri trees again. its magical! Absolutely beautiful Kangaroos were in transition area in the evening. I'm a bit calmer and more relaxed about it all now. If I do an afternoon race again I need to just do my own thing not let my friends influence what I do. Organise everything the way I normally would. Perhaps spend the morning reading a book or something quiet by myself. I need to figure out why my tyre wwent flat. (I'm thinking it perhaps burst in the sun although I have a feeling it was a valve problem) I need to work out my pump situation and why I couldln't use it. The thing that
