Almost one thousand women of all ages and walks of life will gather in their pink ensembles and swim caps at Sydney Olympic Park as they prepare for the 2008 Ramsay Health Care Triathlon Pink, the national all women s triathlon series supported by the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Sydney Olympic Park will become a flurry of nerves and excitement as the centre hosts the Sydney event of the Triathlon Pink series, with competitors of all ages, from girls aged 7 to grandmothers of 70.
The kids competition then kicks off at 7:30am, beginning with a lap of the pool (50m), followed by a 1.5km cycle around the stadium and finishing with a 500m run outside the stadium where parents, friends and family can cheer them on with their masses of pink decoration to support of breast cancer awareness.
The morning excitement will then continue with the three longer women s distances, finishing up at 11:30, followed by presentations from Ajay Rochester, Ramsay Health Care, National Breast Cancer Foundation and Lynda Voltz MP.
