Competitor Profile: Team Tri-Nation Chicks, Anaconda Adventure Race, Gold Coast

(Anaconda Adventure Race, Gold Coast, QLD - Posted 7/22/2008)
Bree (Australia), Megs (South Africa), Bel (NZ) and Kaz (NZ) are a bunch of friends who make up the all female team Tri-Nation Chicks which is heading to the Gold Coast Anaconda Adventure Race on 10th August. Karen, the ‘organiser’ gave us some background on the team and sent a photo of the girls minus Bree (right).

Says Karen, “two of us recently had babies which is our motivation for the race, we needed a reason to get back out there and start training". Can’t be easy with new-borns at home but there is always the carrot of a free Gage Roads beer at the end of the race dangling for motivation too - “I remember that it went down pretty well last year" added Karen with a smile in her email. Enjoy your day out with your united nations team.
