This is just an early note to all who are travelling down to the Busselton Half Ironman on the 2nd of May. Indications are that there are a fair number of the SPR family heading South for this fantastic ‘end of tri season’ event.
Bike Course Familirisation
We’ll be doing a bike course familiarisation ride for anyone who’d like to come along (competitors & supporters) on Friday 1st prior to athlete registration. We’ll aim for an average speed of 25 – 30 km/h so all are welcome.
We’ll meet at the car park behind the Loose Goose Café (the ‘original’ transition area) ready to leave by 3:00pm. We’ll be able to do a full loop of the 30km course and be back in plenty of time for registration.
Contact on the day will be mobile: 0430 162 291
Supporters
It also appears that there will be a number of spectators down there watching the event, cheering their loved ones and others on throughout the morning. It would be great to arange a central spot for all the SPR crew to be during the ride and run. This is a little more difficult to arrange, so perhaps if people could email me (below) in the first instance, I can set up a group list and communicte with everyone closer to the day.

We can then arrange a time/place for everyone to meet and finalise anything before heading South.
On the day!
In the absence of SPR Tri Suit’s, don’t forget to wear your SPR running hat so we can cheer each other along on the day. Make sure you save some energy for The Meltdown Party – should be a big one with so many of us down there too!
Looks like I’m heading down!
I was just going to watch and cheer on friends but may well be doing the cycle now as part of a team!
It will be my first one and am looking forward to it.
Will be there and looking forward to it,
Promised last year I’d never do this one again, howvever have increased my incentive to finish with a nice bottle of wine post race and a massage
Any one looking for accommodation we have a spare bed or two in Margz
Cool we will be down to watch and cheer but staying in Bunbury sat night and heading to collie to race on sunday. 🙂
Looking forward to doing it for the first time – great to see several SPR people competing and supporting. Bring on the Meltdown Party!!
Then after the party you can really top the sporting weekend off by racing sunday in collie 🙂 I think Ryan and I were the only ones that did both last year.. lol gluten for punishment:)
