About
Team Shiraz ...
It all started with one woman
who turned 40 in 2005. But this is no ordinary woman. It's
someone with an unrivalled passion for life and power to infect others.
One day in September 2004, Belinda came to Gone Fishing cafe and asked the Fisher, "Eh
neighbour, wanna do a half-triathlon next year?". And the rest was history ... since then, the
Sprint For Life! movement was started, as we
religiously encourage others to join us and do something fun together, and
possibly get fitter and healthier along the way. Team Shiraz was coined by
Dr. Low as we replenished our body fluids with a bottle of fine Australian
Shiraz during a talk he gave at our inaugural gathering in October 2004.
Team Shiraz is essentially
an
informal
community
of friends and
patrons of Gone
Fishing that gets together periodically to share resources on training,
nutrition, injury prevention, negotiating discounts from sports equipment
suppliers, fund raising, etc, inspiring one another to train for and take
part in triathlons. Some of us train together, while others
feast together. Here's
what we believe ...
It’s about believing in oneself.
It’s about making a commitment to turn one’s belief into reality.
It’s about getting in touch with the human spirit. It’s about
making a contribution and serving a social cause while you workout.
It’s about community building. And lastly, it’s also about
having fun while you do all that.
Age is not a matter.

community, simply email
