Triathlon Pink Kicks Off

The 20th of October 2007 will go down in history as the birth of Triathlon Pink. Just after 7.00am at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre 6 Pinkies under the age of 13 hit the water to mark the beginning of the 2007 Ramsay Health Care Triathlon Pink Series.

440 participants followed the junior members into the water as they completed one of the four Triathlon Pink distances.

Event Ambassador Fiona Falkiner had a great day completing her first ever triathlon as part of Event 4 whilst Ajay Rochester had a very entertaining finish to her day as she crossed the finish line with huge grin n Event 2.

Event organizers t3 Events were extremely excited with the turnout for the first ever Triathlon Pink Event. Event Coordinator Brett James couldn’t hide his pleasure with the day and what lays ahead for the Triathlon Pink brand “It was an awesome day. This was the most satisfying day of t3 Events short but eventful history. We knew that starting this series may be a risk but this turn out shows us that Triathlon Pink is a great event that will promote health, fitness and empowerment amongst the female community. With the support of our Pinkies we have now been able to raise just on $20,000 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation and with more than two months to go for the series we are on our way to our goal of $50,000. Now for Melbourne!”

The Ramsay Health Care Triathlon Pink Series now moves onto Albert Park, Melbourne where more ladies will earn the title of Pinkie when they cross the finish line on 25 November 2007.

Here are some of my favourite images from the day:
