Happy FriYAY Team!
More Than Just a Finish Line
This weekend is a pretty special reminder that our squad is about so much more than simply crossing a finish line. We have athletes and crew spread across different races, different cities and, in Sheree's case, on the other side of the world — but we are all connected by the same thing: the Multisport Gold family.
At the UTMB Mont-Blanc World Series Final, Sheree will take on an incredible challenge, on one of the biggest stages in trail running. Back in Australia & heading down south to Sydney, Trinny and Danny will line up for the Sydney Marathon, ready to put all those months of training, patience and persistence into practice. And here at home, we have a great crew taking on the Dreamworld Fun Run on Sunday — each with their own goals, costumes, stories and reasons for putting themselves on that start line.
But it's not only about the people racing. On Saturday, a solid crew from our squad will be out supporting Steve Jackson at Coastal High, giving their time and energy to help other athletes have their day. That's something I love about our community — we don't just turn up for our own races; we turn up for each other. We cheer, volunteer, encourage, track, message, celebrate and sometimes even lose our voices doing it!
When you look at the weekend as a whole, it really highlights what makes sport so special. There are finish lines, of course, but there are also starting lines, training partners, early mornings, friendships, volunteers, supporters, high-fives, nervous moments and plenty of stories being created along the way.
So wherever you are this weekend — racing, volunteering, cheering from the sidelines or following along from afar — know that you are part of something much bigger than your own result. The finish line is only one small part of the journey. The people you share it with are what make it memorable.
Go well this weekend, Crew. Be proud of the work you've put in, embrace the experience and, most importantly, look around and enjoy being part of this wonderful, slightly crazy Multisport Gold family.
More than just a finish line. More than just a race. We are in this together. 💛
Live Boldly,
