The race season has come to life for the #thriveteam this weekend. We had Mountain bike Stage races, Noosa Multi Sport weekend, Murray Man 1/2 distance triathlon and the 4 Vine Marathon Festival. We had 9 representatives out on courses over 4 different states.
Hell Fire Cup 4 day Mountain Bike Race Tasmania
We had 2 teams take on this epic 4 day 8 stage event. The boys showing the way after a good solid training prep with Nathan and Hamish walking away with a second place result. Dean and Heath were very lucky just to make the start line after Heath's bike was broken in transit. I hear a special shout out goes out to MY RIDE Hobart for coming good with a bike to borrow for the weekend. Team of Nathan May and Hamish Patterson 2nd place vets male in 6:48:56
Team Dean Robinson and Heath Allen 7th place in masters male in 8:01:40
Noosa Multi Sport Weekend Olympic Distance
We had our girls take on this iconic Australian triathlon event. With a field of 8000 people it made for an amazing experience to be a part of. The weather gods were out to make it a challenging event with a rough open water swim and some very warm sunny conditions. Challenge was accepted by the #thriveteam and they did us proud.

Murray Man 1/2 Distance Triathlon
Aaron, one of our South Australian based athletes who has been living the dream over winter with a massive 3 month training block at Thailand. After a lot of hard work he finally got to see the results on consistency and patience. Aaron is heading to Busselton in 3 weeks time and we are all excited to see what he can achieve for his first IM race
