Athletes prepare
Commonwealth Countdown
Excitement is mounting for the Central Coast's contingent to contest the Commonwealth Games in Manchester from July 24.
TRIATHLETE Nicole Hackett, of Toowoon Bay, leaves for Manchester on Wednesday, and said her sense of anticipation is growing.
"I got my Australian team uniform delivered to my home just the other day, so that was pretty exciting," Hackett, 23, said.
"I'm really looking forward to getting over there and seeing how it all works out."
Hackett, the former world champion, said she and fellow Australians Loretta Harrop and Michellie Jones had an opportunity to do something special in Manchester, where triathlon will make it's debut.
