The Kindness of (Almost ) Strangers


On Sunday TeamSAK had the pleasure of meeting a cyber colleague in person. One of the websites S frequents is a triathlon related forum called Transitions. I have been a member of this since its inception in May 2003 and have met a few friends on the way . Hello Foxy and Ronnie!
Hellman ( online aka) is one of the many members. He very kindly extended an invitation to any Transitions member to drop by and say hi at the Cube HomeLoans marquee at the Noosa Triathlon on the weekend. With new found bravado I walked in and introduced myself ( and online persona) to Mrs Hellman. Kingsley had great fun hanging out with the Hellman kids and we enjoyed meeting our cyber colleagues.
Ahubby wasn't racing this year and found the whole spectator thing a little difficult so it was good to have a spot with some cover to watch the events of the triathlon unfold. A big thank you to the Hellmans and Cube Home Loans for wonderful hospitality and TeamSAK look forward to returning the favour and hosting you to a meal the next time you are in Noosa.

Sounds like a good time was had by all! Meeting "new" people.... or cyber friends is always fun (and nerve-racking!)
