Many Illawarra athletes and their families travelled south to Huskisson for the Jervis Bay Triathlon Festival. There were many events held over the weekend for all age groups. There were over 4,000 participants across the weekend.

With all of the nervous anticipation the day before a race brings, pre-race nutrition is often low on the thought radar. A big bowl of pasta the night before should do it, right? Perhaps; although given the nature of triathlon i.e. the early starts, travelling, nerves, heat and lengthy duration means what you eat in the lead up to a event is a critical component to your final countdown to the gun. No one menu is a perfect fit for all athletes, but there are some general rules and guidelines that everyone can use in the 24 hours pre race.

After a day of drizzle, Sunday morning (early) looked as though the weather had cleared. Many of the athletes from ITC made the trek south to Callala Beach for what promised to be a great day for the Club. There were numerous events being run, including an Enticer Race, Sprint Race (750 metre swim, 20km cycle, 5km run) and the Club distance race (1km swim, 30km cycle, 8km run).

At least two of the older racers in the club made the journey to Geelong for the promised multisport weekend. John O'Connell in search of age group glory and myself well just aiming to finish, enjoy a few coffees and catch up with family.
