🏊‍♂️🚴‍♂️🏃‍♂️ WHAT A DAY AT NOOSA TRI!

A huge congratulations to our two Sunshine Butterflies teams and our wonderful vollie Fiona, who all crossed the finish line at the Garmin Noosa Triathlon! 🎉👏

With the swim leg cancelled and replaced by a run, there was a last-minute change of plans, but that didn't stop our crew from giving it their all!

And didn't they look the part!

Once again, a massive THANK YOU to the wonderful team at WYN republic for generously sponsoring our teams with their fantastic race kits! 💜

And a big shoutout to everyone who came along to cheer on our crew and show their support. What a fantastic day! 👏
