Happy FriYAY Team!

How can it already be that tomorrow is the 1st June....where is this year going?

To some its OMG, but to sports fans, its YES, the Olympics aren't far away......only 56 days YIPPEE.

To Olympic athletes, this is crunch time. While many of the teams have already been selected, there are still some which are about to throw it all out there. Our swim team, who have just returned from a Staging Camp in Cairns, head to Chandler for Trials on 10-15th June. To them, its 4 years of incredibly hard work, 100km+ weeks following that black line.....and their future can come down 1/100th of a second. 

Then in more recent news, the selection of the Women's marathon team, which is yet to be officially announced, looks like is going to be controversial. There is 3 slots for the women, with the qualifying standard set at 2:26. There iss 6 ladies who went under that time, and whilst the 1st 2 slots are pretty much a given, it was always going to be that 3rd slot which is going to be a hard decision for the selection panel. I know who I personally would like to see be awarded that 3rd slot, lets see what happens over the next few days! At the end of the day, its about having the athletes who can perform under pressure. 

Sport, regardless of whether we are age groupers, or elite athletes looking for the chance to represent your country, is all about the journey, the process, the growth, of who we are and who we become. 

Find your Fire,

Alli

How darn easy does Sharyn make her epic adventures look LOL!!! I know her legs hated her by the end of Sunday, but the smiles in all her photos really do make the Warwick Pentath-Run look like such fun! Congratulations Sharyn on your mighty fine effort, completing 5 runs in 2 days, totaling 42.2km. BOOM!

And to our super strong Kate from Brisbane, such a strong run over in SA for the Barossa 1/2 marathon. Kate is in heavy training for GCM, so it was great to see her have a solid training day out! This is also another awesome run destination!  

And this weekend at Griffith Uni we have 3 of our SuperStar Ultra Runners completing in the Butter Run. Erin is racing the 24 hr event, with Tim & Jezz in the 6hr. This is going to be an epic event, and one where ALL of our MSGold Crew are invited to come along at any time over the weekend to cheer on our Crew! The squad tent will be up, so lets get as many supporters over the weekend! 

This time of the year we see so many runners out in the trails prepping for Kokoda, and this year we wish Trinny & her school team at Coomera Springs (and proudly supported by Multisport Gold!) strong legs as they tackle the 18km event on Saturday! We will be cheering you all on Trinny !!

Get your entries in for Bris to GC ride....our team name is MSGold Crew. Don't forget to book your train faire

Have a think about adding some of these events to your calendar  : Flirt with Dirt, Wellcamp Duathlon, Dream World Fun Run just to name a few!!! 

SATURDAY 29th June 2024  - Varsity Lakes

Multisport Gold parkrun on Tour will see un venture to Varsity Lakes. This course is predominately flat, which means there will be some fast running, a perfect final hit out for those racing GCM the following weekend.  Running around the beautiful Lake Orr as the backdrop always makes for a really picturesque run. 

Of course, there will be coffee & breakfast once again, location is TBA. Looking forward to seeing our Multisport Gold bling back out in force once again! 

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