Howdy,
I'm going to start my freshman year of college in the fall and I'm trying to figure out where I want to study abroad my junior year. Australia is at the top of my list. It would get me out of the winter up here in Northern New york and give me the chance to train for a half ironman distance Tri(I run XC and track for a D3 school in the north east, I can't dedicate myself to triathlon yet). My school's Australia program is based out of James Cook University in Townsville, Queensland Australia. Can anyone out there shed some light on the Triathlon situation in and around Townsville? Are the roads decent for longer rides? And what is Townsville actually like? Are there any good tinman distance races in Australia or New Zealand around May or June? Thanks for any help anyone can offer me!
I'm a runner pretending to be a Triathlete
