2016 Noosa Triathlon - #NoosaTri

Hi all

For the ninth year in a row I was lucky to be able to attend the 2016 Noosa Triathlon, as part of the 2016 Noosa Triathlon Multi Sport Festival, and take some photos. Here we go:

What a great effort!


Always love all the jumpers and leapers :)

Phew! (as in - effort, achievement and fatigue)
