The 2017 Ironman & 70.3 Event at Busselton
The 2017 Ironman & 70.3 Event was held in hot conditions over a course in the Busselton area on Sunday 3 December. Our coach, Paige Newhill, and a large group of her junior players and supporters worked as volunteers for this event. This is a highly organised event with international and local athletes competing in this challenging course. This event is also a fundraising opportunity for the Tennis Section and I was fortunate to be working a shift with Paige at this event. Thanks Paige for your organisation, your catering, plugging the gaps wherever required and the effort of organising all of your helpers.
As you may have heard, the swim leg of the event was cancelled due to a shark sighting in the area, but did not deter the enthusiasm of the competitors.
I would encourage anyone to volunteer next year – it’s a real treat to see these amazing competitors.
Thank you!
Marlene Howes
