I heard they had a great coach and a good friendly club atmosphere both of which I have found to be true.
The fact that it is a multi-discipline sport. It requires specification and diversification making you an all round better athlete.
Olympic
Toughest race was an Olympic back home in ireland called Hell of The West. It was my first ocean swim and there were jeelyfish in the water (which i hate) I lost all my gels out of the back of my tri suit coming out of the swim so I had to do the bike and run on just my drink bottles. Then the race was basically uphill for 8km. I was shattered at the end but it was a great achievement.
Bike or run, I have the bouyancy of a stone
Don't neglect the other parts of triathlon which at times can seem less important i.e. diet, stretching, core stability. Working and improving those can bring big improvements as well as putting in the training in the 3 main disciplines.
Gold coast-Sprinbrook-Mt Tamborine
Get closer to the 1.05 mark for sprint and the GC Half IM in October
