Hey Team! First up, a huge congrats to everyone who raced in Cairns over the weekend. What an event! We had some unbelievable results across both races, and the support on course was simply next level. A massive thanks to the 9 of you who travelled up to Cairns just to support your teammates. It’s amazing to see the relationships that have been built over many years come to life in person. On behalf of all those who raced, a huge THANK YOU. Adam Hillis!! Off to Kona!! Adam has had a goal for years to hit the hot rock, and after a disappointing result in Da Nang last month, he bounced back brilliantly on his home turf and got the job done. His result placed him 9th overall which is unbelievable. We can’t wait to see him racing in Kona in October! Thanks again to everyone up there who got behind each other, ending wheels, giving lifts, buying coffee & beers, and generally backing the shit out of everyone in RED. Koa Sports is now the 5-time back-to-back Ironman Cairns Champions Greggo
