After five long weeks of training our FIT Womens’ Triathlon Training Program (WTTP) participants can now officially be labelled as triathletes!

On Saturday 12 November, our small but dedicated group set out to tackle the Jackie Fairweather Memorial Triathlon – we had thirteen ladies successfully compete (and complete) in the Enticer event and even one brave soul in the Sprint distance.

FIT was lucky enough to have teamed up with 100% Events to incorporate a FIT Sponsored Wave in the Enticer, all of our FIT ladies donned purple caps and ever so gracefully clambered into the lake to begin their race.

We are very impressed with the efforts our WTTP girls put in on the day and thrilled that everyone crossed the finish line with a smile on their face. We even had some age group podium finishers!

The WTTP continues for another two weeks with this week looking at lessons learnt from the triathlon; next week the group integrates into the regular FIT training. If you see a few new faces around please say hello!

Thanks to everyone who volunteered on the day, these events would not run as smoothly without you and it was important for FIT to get some extra volunteers together to honour our sponsorship commitment.

Thank you to all of our coaches (Tamzen, Tash and Jill) along with everyone who has helped out to make this years’ WTTP a success!
