• Comments: This is always a glorious event,well run and with a great atomosphere. The crowd was very supportive right up until the last girl got cheered home. (This was her 2nd tri, the 1st had been the day before and she had lost 35kg in the 9 months she was training). Again, the event's charity was the Esther Foundation, which helps young women who have had problems with addiction, depression and domestic violence, and exercise is part of the recovery programme so the women who had raced told us their stories and it was humbling and inspiring stuff. The final presentation was the spot prize of a $2000 bike and it went to a teenager who had borrowed a bike for the race so we all cheered at such a fitting end to a gorgeous morning. I phoned home to tell them I had done okay and when I got there, my son had set-up a pink race tape to run through with "Well done Mum" written on it and he'd made me a trophy. Best part of the day :-).
