Less than Two Months to Go for 2nd MRA Bali
International Triathlon.

(5/3/2008) The countdown has begun with less
than two months remaining until the 2nd MRA
Bali International Triathlon at Jimbaran Bay on
June 29, 2008.

This year's event promises to build on the
success established during the inaugural year of
2007.

• An update of the recent developments in connection with this year's MRA
  Bali International Triathlon:
  Bali International Triathlon (USA) and Indonesia's MRA (Mugi Rekso Abadi
  Group have signed a 3-year major sponsorship agreement aligning the event
  with 34 leading Indonesian companies.
• Registrations are a full 30% ahead of registrations at the same point for
  last year's event, promising a stronger-than-ever turn out in 2008.
  
• Through the generous support of Garuda Indonesia, Australian Professional
  athletes Luke McKenzie and Amanda Balding will be joining the event this
  year. Returning champions Daniel Plews and Kelley Toy will also be back to
  defend their titles.
  
• The bike course has been changed from 2007, meaning bikers will only be
  on the Bypass once, as they head out to Nusa Dua, returning on a much
  more scenic, and a little hillier, route on the Ungasan Peninsula.
  
• Strong Support from the Bali Hotel Association will bring a large number of
  exciting prizes for category winners as well as ensure an exciting
  "competition within the competition" among corporate relay teams drawn
  from Bali's hotel sector.
  
• As a further inducement to participation by Indonesian athletes, cash
  prizes will be awarded to top Indonesian finishers.
  
• Beautiful trophies for overall and category winners have been prepared by
  Bali's renowned Jenggala Ceramics.
• Bali International Medical Center Hospital will once be on hand with a field
  hospital at Race Central on Jimbaran Bay.
