Sharyn Rieger and Peter O'Neill Oral History - Noosa Triathlon

DETAILS

OverviewSharyn and Peter have both had a long involvement with the Noosa Triathlon. Peter was on the original organising committee in 1983 and has started in every event since. Sharyn entered the event for the first time in 1984 and has competed approximately 20 times.

The interviewees’ reflections and stories put a very personal perspective on this major, international event. They discuss the changes over the years in the course, the technology, and the competitors’ attitudes as well as training strategies and what keeps them coming back year after year. They also share some quirky anecdotes.
The interview draws out the benefits of the Noosa Triathlon event to the community, both as a fundraiser in the early days but continuing to this day with community groups volunteering to support the event in exchange for a donation.

The video starts with some informal chat followed by interview.
