TRYathlon Obstacle Training Sesh – Call for interest
Nigel PrestonNigel Preston is a self-confessed 'HPV Tragic'. After 'catching the bug' from his older brother, he helped launch the Energy Breakthrough program at Eaglehawk SC with his dad and some mates way back in 1998. Having participated in the EB for four years he finished his VCE in 2001 and volunteering to help with the event management straight away. He's been helping out ever since. Nigel has also been a part of teams that have taken line honours at the EB in 2000 & 2001 (Bendigo Senior SC); the Australian International Pedal Prix 2003, 2004 & 2009 (Bendigo Youth Racing); and the Wonthaggi Human Powered Grand Prix in 2019.Generally Newsworthy

A word on safety:
The training session will be on a dead-end street in an unused industrial street with road signs and cones to close off the road. However, schools will be responsible for their vehicles and riders. Schools and students will be participating in this practice session at their own risk and the Energy Breakthrough and its volunteers will not be held liable for any incidents or injuries.
