IRONMAN MELBOURNE THIS SUNDAY 23 MARCH 2014image003

The day is nearly here for the biggest triathlon (Ironman) race to hit Australia – Ironman Melbourne, for the third year running. Race will kick off at 7.20am for pro’s with our Age Groupers starting at 7.38am on Sunday morning. You can view the event timetable here.

The support our athletes have had leading into this race has been outstanding and race day again will be phenomenal for everyone involved.

We have 50 Tri Alliance Athletes on the starters list – just one less than last year. With 9 females and a massive 41 males. Cheering from the sidelines is going to be awesome again!

The training has been completed and they are now ready to race and can’t wait to get out there and race. It has taken a huge commitment, dedication, some tough choices (some would say sacrifices!) and a lot of mental strength for our athletes to get to the start line in Frankston this Sunday morning and race day is the cherry on top of one very large cake.  Let’s make it a day to remember! Good luck to all involved!
