FIT cleans up at Annual Awards 2023-24!

The soft lighting of Lucky’s Speakeasy, a unique space hidden behind behind two barbershop chairs created a warm ambiance, and the chatter of excited guests filled the air. It was clear that this was more than just an awards ceremony; it was a celebration of hard work, dedication, and the indomitable spirit of triathlon here in the ACT.

It was an honour to watch the shocked faces of our fellow members names were announced for the following special awards:

But the biggest shock of the night came when the ACT Triathlon League Champion Club was announced as Females in Training. The cheers were deafening as I had the honour of accepting the plaque on the club’s behalf. James Thorp of JT Multisport, who has won the award for the last two years congratulated us on our win but said that he’s coming for us in the coming season. I say “Bring it!”
