Bright skies, clear water conditions and a safe course is all we need to keep us triathletes happy on race day. The Byron Tri Club flew their colours at the NX Sports 24th Triathlon in Byron Bay on Sat 11th May 2019. It was a fantastic finish to the season. Congratulations to those who competed in their first triathlon AND their very first Olympic Distance. Everyone had so much fun in the pre event preparations and at our after party. Thank you to our members who volunteered and our supporters for cheering us on. A big thanks to our no.1 supporter and photographer Geoff Bensley. Here are the results in finishing time order.

I’d also like to make a special mention about Matthew Tapping who is our cycling club junior & who trains with us in his holidays. He took out 1st place in the sprint in 1hr 11mins for the 16-17 year category. He was 5th overall. Well done young Matt.
