Well done Staypuff - Fantastic! Great to read your report and great to hear that you and your guide had such a great time...and the tri club were so welcoming. A nice warm fuzzy feeling leading into Christmas

Stella (Staypuff);

That was awesome to read your report on your triathlon ... and that you got through it. I hope the calf mends ok for you ... but wow, you must have an indescribably feeling of elation at present. Bloody good on you; fantastic stuff.

I do have a small question to ask ... in that, you mentioned about when riding you'll have to learn to drink when riding ... did you take any other fluids or gels or the like during the event; or was it pretty much, just participate and fuel up later?

Anyway, I just wanted to congratulate you on a very fine performance ...

A.O.

Fantastic! Well done StayPuff! Having done one season of surf-lifesaving in south east Victoria - I reckon a triathlon must be one of the hardest things to do (harder than a steeplechase! ).

You rock.

Congrats Staypuff, I didn't make it down to watch the race but went down to Altona later with the kids and the amount of seaweed on the beach was incredible, I've not seen anything like it before.

Are you doing more of the WSTC races? I hope to be at the Australia day race if I can swim again by then.

well done on once again setting your mind to a task and completing it in fine form. Your are awesome and a great role model for others. Your enthusiasm is infectious.

Is it true that you were drafting the whole way around the course?

Awesome! well done Staypuff, i loved reading the report - those little things that happen are what make tri so interesting. there's no two races the same.

I really admire anyone with a CAN DO IT attitude....everyday heroes

Look forward to the next one

cheers

Very nice Peterhorse. And Staypuff, yet another victory. Thanks for sharing on such an appropriate day...as I get engrossed in presents and food it's nice to remember the poignant things in life and what REALLY motivates us to be better people.

Well done Staypuff-sorry I didn't return your sms on the day-I was a little preoccupied with other matters! I'll call you after the dreaded xmas day.

[catgirl]

Well done Staypuff, you are awesome! I am doing my first on 11 Jan and am also doing the FIT WAG Tri in Feb too! Your story is very inspiring for us tri-virgins!

[AngelicOne]

So that kind of ruins my question as to when your next one will be? Do you have thougths for another one?
