I did the Byron Olympic Triathlon on Saturday and just wanted to let people know how fantastic it was.
Apart from the fact that I finished, the organisation of the event was spot on (especially given the obvious tight constraints they had to work within) and the crowds were so encouraging all the way along the route.
Being a local I appreciate it is a big impost on other locals who are not part of the event, especially in the cycle route, but we should also encourage people to do sport and what better way than have 1,000 people from kids to over-70-year-olds compete in a tough multi-sport event.
Thanks again to the organisers and especially to Byron Council.
