This is just an early note to all who are travelling down to the Busselton Half Ironman on the 1st 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 30th prior to athlete registration. We’ll aim for an average speed of 28 – 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 2:30pm (optional 1/2hr swim in the Bay from 1:30pm). We’ll be able to do a full loop of the 45km course and be back in plenty of time for registration.

Contact on the day will be mobile: 0430 162 291

Supporters and SPR Presence
There will be a significant number of spectators down there watching the event, cheering their loved ones and others on throughout the morning. We’ll be taking the SPR tent down and setting it up across the road from the main Barnard Park carpark about 200m down the road from the run Exit/Finish chute – a great vantage spot for the 3 lap run course!

On the day!
The SPR Tri Suits are all go now so we’ll likely see a fair bit of the green and black out there this year – and don’t forget to wear your SPR running hat! Make sure you save some energy for The Meltdown Party – should be a big one with so many of us down there too!
