"Tri a MV Cocktail - Add some Liquid, Spin it up and Run it down – It’s Awesome!”

"Tri a MV Cocktail - Add some Liquid, Spin it up and Run it down – It’s Awesome!”

from the MV (Marc Vann) Team. 

Marc Vann is a Personal Trainer at DHP, having a keen interest in many sports, with a passion for Triathlons (Tri). Over the past few months, Marc has been training a team to compete in the Bribie Island Triathlon Series. Marc not only trains the team, he leads by example and competes himself. 

The first race of the series was on Sunday 14 October 2012, Bribie Island turned on a beautiful day. 

Most of the team members have not competed in a tri before, but trained for this event. Race start time approached, the team lined up with nervous excitement, and then went racing. 

Marc placed 1st in his category. 

Huge effort by Marc, he was suffering from a very heavy dose of the flu and still set a great time. 

After Marc finished his racing for the day, he then went back out on the run course and encouraged each team across the line. Just a word of encouragement, knowing that someone is there, goes a long way in racing. In the final 100m in the run leg each team member found something extra and crossed the line very strongly. 

Congratulations to Dominique Duhme, Sarah Passfield, Susan Baldwin, Nekia Pender and Michaela Keenan great times by all of you. 

A great day of racing had by all
