Happy FriYAY Team!

After many months of preparation, training, commitment and dedication to our goals, it is a very exciting weekend for many of our Multisport Gold athletes.

Sunny Coast 70.3 is such an awesome race, and even more appealing as it it just up the road from us! The Crew racing at Mooloolaba have put in the hard work, and now it is all about freshening up and being mentally & physically in a good place come Sunday morning. One really important element of these endurance events is having the confidence in yourself to make it hurt & to hang in there until the end, to chase those goals with courage and to know that YOU have done the training to make this race super successful. Be on that start line backing yourself and ready for a day to be proud of! 

I will also be up at the Sunny Coast on the weekend, however not in the capacity of an athlete, but on the Technical Official Team. I honestly love my role on the Moto's and whilst I am not racing, I am still involved in the day and all that it has to offer the triathlon community. Cant wait to give you all a big Thumbs Up as I zoom past LOL!!

Then, on the other side of the world, we have our Ironman World Champion representative Martin! As we all know, Martin has had a smile for the last 8 weeks despite the knarly sessions thrown his way! The work for Martin is done, its all about now soaking up the IMWC atmosphere and being super proud to be part of this iconic Ironman event. I know we will all be following him on the IM tracker, so Martin, swim smart, bike strong, run fast.....all with a smile & taking in every single moment!

I am so incredibly proud of our team in their prep for this weekend, and this also includes training buddies, as a Team, we are stronger! 

Let's Make it Happen,

For those on the Sunny Coast this week, the squad tent will be up on the TriClub Village Hill for ALL of our team to us. Bring your chairs, rugs, music and lets make this a tent our athletes will look forward to passing a number of times throughout the race!  I may be looking for for some helpers to put the tent up & down over the weekend, all hands are appreciated, details will be on the group chat page. 

For anyone looking for some Off Road run, the Toohey Trail run is on Sunday 17th September (next Sunday!) and entries are still open. There is distances from 5km through to 21km through the Toohey Forest, should be a fun morning & something different for anyone keen!

The Girls Out of Office Day has been locked in for Saturday 16th September. The plan is to have a run at Kirra parkrun, then head to the Pasture & Co for a delicious breakfast, followed by some girlie fun at The Bathhouse. There has been a booking made for 7 of the girls already, please head over to the FaceBook page Events for more details & contact Coach Alli if you are keen to be added to this Girls Out of Office Day! 

Entries are now OPEN for Port Mac 2024....so who is in and for what distances? Had FOMO this year.....then don't miss out being part of the action next year!

SATURDAY 23rd September

Sunny Coast 70.3 is finished, so time to have some fun again on our Saturday mornings at parkrun! So, with winter over & the temps should be above freezing, lets venture up the Mountain to Tambo! This is a course which has it all, a mix of gravel, grass, trails and concrete, but is always such a great challenge over this terrain! Don't be late as Tamborine Mtn starts at 7.00am sharp! (We will arrive earlier for a warm up jog, details to follow on FB)

In true Multisport Gold style, there will be coffee and breakfast afterwards....I think I can smell the coffee already! 

MultisportGOLD is all about community and encouraging members to push (safely) individual limits and become stronger athletes.

With the new 2023-2024 Triathlon season kicking off on 1st July 2023, NOW is the time to start logging in your race results. Every parkrun, every race is worth valuable points, so be in it to win and lets see how is going to be our new Club Male & Female Champions!

We have modified the points system, and make sure you know the rules, we are making the Club Championship to fully acknowledge the commitment and effort required by all MultisportGOLD athletes in getting to the start line and completing any one of the event categories. So it doesn't matter if your a triathlete, or a runner, this series is inclusive for us all!

It is super easy to log your points. Just head to the website here. Simply fill in the tabs and you're on your way!
