2014 Subaru Mooloolaba Women's ITU Triathlon World Cup - Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia

Hi all

On 15 March 2014 I enjoyed a great day at Super Saturday at the Mooloolaba Multi Sport Festival. This included both the men's and women's International Triathlon Union (ITU) Triathlon World Cup events featuring some of the world's most talented triathletes. Here are some pics from the 2104 Subaru Mooloolaba Women's ITU Triathlon World Cup.

2012 Mooloolaba Triathlon Photos

Hi all

Last weekend I enjoyed attending the 2012 Mooloolaba Triathlon Festival, which included the main Sunday morning event, the 2012 Mooloolaba Triathlon. Weather permitting, the Swim Leg is in the Coral Sea, so I always find photographing the exit of the swim leg through the surf to be plenty of fun. Here are some pics:
