QTS RABY BAY
This weekend is the last race of the Qld Tri Series at Raby Bay. We have a Try the Tri course finishing their 6 week program and will be putting on a BBQ to celebrate. Like we did for the December QTS race we’ll be doing a Tri Alliance mates wave.
The mates wave was great fun last time and a perfect way to welcome another group of new people into the squad.
Entries to the race are almost sold out. Remember Tri Alliance members get a discount on race entry when using the code provided. Online entries close today at 6:00pm.
Our final beginner course for this season starts on March 4th and will finish with the Luke Harrop race on April 13th. Go to http://qld.dev.tri-alliance.com.au/summer-try-the-tri-program/ if you know anyone that is interested in getting into the sport.
