DEFENCE Force triathletes are wanted to compete in the world’s
best sporting festival, which includes the Noosa Olympic Distance
Triathlon.
On November 2, the Australian Services Triathlon Association (ASTA),
with the help of sponsors, will provide race singlets valued at
$45 free of charge to all members of the ADF competing in this
race.
Up to 3,500 triathletes will take to the water as individuals
or as team members for the 1.5km swim, 40km cycle and 10km run.
The field will consist of novice triathletes to the professionals,
with each person racing for their own personal reasons.
The novice or first-timer will be just happy to cross the finish
line some 3-1/2 hours later, while the professionals will be looking
towards the Olympic Games in 2004.
The Noosa Triathlon gives all members of the Defence Force an
opportunity to compete with the best; you can form a team with
your friends or try the race as an individual.
All members who intend to enter this race should contact WO2 Greg
Young on (02) 9600 4266 or email greg.young2@defence.gov.au
to register.
The team will assemble at 4pm on Saturday, November 1 in the registration
area in the Noosa Triathlon Festival Village. Team uniforms will
be given out and all members will be required to be in the team
photo.
Team manager is Captain Dave Little, who can be contacted on (07)
