A Body 2 Fit Triathlon Squad

Regional Cross Country was held today at Runaway Bay sports center and today we had 6 young sporting athletes who train with us for either triathlon or running out there giving it their very best.

When you make it through to Regionals for Triathlon, Cross Country, Athletics or Swimming I always tell my youngsters that they have made it through to compete against some of the most talented athletes in QLD ✅⭐ So as I watched each one of them tackle their individual goal I couldn't have been more proud....some coming away with selection through to the State Championships, some tackling their very first event and others improving on their result from previous years.

I am proud to say that 4 athletes made the top 10 with Porter taking out a podium in 3rd place, Cooper 5th, Alexander 6th and Zara 8th. Saga and Evelyn both ran exceptionally well in not just their first year of rep cross country but also a huge field of 10 years girls placing in the top third of competitors. ⭐⭐⭐

As a coach I am always inspired by their gritty approach, a coach's dream to watch them believe in their ability....go out there and roll out their very best effort on the day.

What many don't see is the challenges these young people and their families often tackle, the adversity they overcome and the courage it takes to put themselves on the line...so a huge shout out to all our juniors who tackle these events right from school competition through to the other rep levels. 💚⭐

Each and every athlete shone brightly today and the smiles and support from their family and friends was second to none. I love hearing and watching my parents positively cheering their kids along and supporting them in their campaign to be the best they can be ✅

Stand proud everyone....keep believing, keep achieving and keep smiling 😍

An amazing morning out getting down and dirty with the trail running community with Trail Trips & Events at In the Raw Trail Run

So proud of our crew of 17 that showed up today to soak up the beautiful scenery, together with some muddy fun running trails...for some it was their first time and for others they were back for another laugh after such a fun time last year.

We had youngsters Daren, Beau, Olivia and Frankie repping the kids squad together with many of our parents and adult athletes giving it a crack as well. I am always especially proud of the family atmosphere we bring to all these events and I love seeing our families coming together to achieve an all round family goal. 💚✅

Congrats to Lisa who took out the 4km event overall and to the Reilly brothers of Gabe and Lewy who finished with a lil competitive brotherly sprint to take out 2nd and 3rd overall male.

Thanks to Steve Jackson and crew for another amazing trail run and for always giving so much back to these events to make it such a fantastic experience.

Congrats to the following junior athletes who competed today in Oceanic District Cross Country today at Tugun.

Saga - 7th
Evelyn - 8th
Porter - 2nd🥈
Beau - 30th
Olivia - 19th
Cooper - 3rd 🥉

Coach Jen was so proud watching you all give 100% effort on what was quite a windy and challenging course with the top 14 going through to Regionals Cross Country

Often the goals of each child may vary and many children join sporting groups for a variety of reasons....some may be looking for fun, others to reach a specific sporting goal and some because they simply need to lose weight, keep fit, make friends or are physically battling a long term health condition.

So, when we, as their coaches, look at their outcomes we are not just focused on just the podiums (which mind you are amazing 🥰) but also the overall development of the youngster and the integrity they display within the sport.

Today as I stood together with their parents watching these 6 very different athletes I was so proud 🥰 I was ecstatic to see some qualify through to Regionals, some grab some bling 🥈🥉 😁 and others just dig deep despite the challenges they face every day. As a coach I can't ask for anymore...happiness, good vibes and big smiles.

Thanks to all those parents who continually support their kids and our coaching structure whilst nurturing a positive, inclusive and happy training environment, whereby every individual is challenged and supported towards their individual goals.

Lastly, a big shout out to Zach Deakin who was not so long ago was one of these young kids....now as an adult member of our squad Zach came along for the day with Coach Jen to cheer on and support all his team mates. Kudos to you Zach for always cheering on the younger athletes in our squad.

Here's some pics of the champs in action 😀

What a cracker of a morning with our squad representing across the 5, 10 and 21km events.

So super proud of each and every A BODY 2 FIT runner 😃...lots of PB's, first timers and smiles all round.....the good vibes were definitely pumping amongst the team.

Some amazing personal best times by some of our youngest athletes and even the adults racked up a few as well.

Coaches Jen and Pete were happy to be out on course mixing it with everyone, watching the smiles on your faces, listening to your post race reports and watching your hard earned training being put to fruition 😁

Congrats to each and every one of you....looking forward to our other events over the next three months through to August as we build into triathlon season towards the end of the year.
