By Liam Osbourne. Allez allez – that was the catchphrase of the day that we would hear throughout our adventure in Pays de Aix, Provence, France.

By Louise O’Grady. Well the pre-race photo says it all!!! Four years with piranha and only just doing my 1st Olympic- ahhhh. Memories of Triathy last time around was a cold, wet, windy day.
