Hi All,
It has been great to see so many of you coming down and "tri - ing" our events. I'd like to encourage those of you who have not yet taken out membership of Darwin Triathlon Club to do so.
If you are living in Katherine or Gove, you are also very, very welcome to join our club. We even have a member who tri's from Groote Eylandt.
Joining up is a simple process these days as it can be done online so why not sign up now at https://www.securedvirtualnet.com/Sma/Triath/ . Once you load the page you will see on the right hand side - select New Membership or Renew Membership. Easy !
Club membership is great value for money and joining up is often the trigger you need to come down and participate more often in our events. It's also a big motivator when you start making those "get fit" type New Year resolutions. We have a shed load of events happening on our calendar, as well as numerous training and social activities.
When you join, how about signing up your friend or partner as an Christmas present ... now there's an idea ! Senior individual membership only $110 and as well as club fees, includes Triathlon Australia m'ship and 24/7 insurance cover for training and racing. Please note that our student membership category is for full time uni students only

OTHER NEWS:
1. The closing date for entry to the Crowne Plaza Canberra City Half Ironman has been extended to November 29th, with late entry through to December 3rd if entry does not fill in the meantime. Last Friday, Triathlon Australia requested to use the event as a qualifying event to the Australian Team to the 2010 ITU Long Distance Triathlon World Championships – next July in Immenstadt, Germany.
This will be the first time this race has been a qualifying event for a world champs team, even though the current course is based entirely on the first ever Long Distance World Championships in Australia, held back in 2006. (For further information on the qualifying procedures see www.triathlon.org.au).
2. The Flickr page is almost 2 years old and now boasts nearly 4,000 images. Would you believe the views are approaching 33,000 !!!
3. Feedback required please. I'm wondering if you all see tri items appearing from time to time in the NT News?? Would you like me to scan and add to the E News?
4. If you are travelling and need a race belt, please contact me as I have some Scody racebelts still available for members.
5. Rowie Eastick has a ton of fun racing in various formats all around Asia. She did an Adventure Race last weekend which was part of the Thailand Amazing Adventure series. These are challenging races - consisting of MTB, X-country running, kayak and swimming - you have to race in pairs (and stay within 100m of each other), and you do not know the order of the legs, or the distance each one is. There are 2 categories; Adventure (Easy) and Extreme (not so easy!), so you are told, for example, that the total distance of the bike for the Adv may be 50km, and for the Extreme may be 70km; but there could be 1, 2 or 3 legs, so when u start at your transition, you don't know how far you're going, or what the next leg will be, or even if its the last leg! You generally don't know you're close to the finish until you see the finish flag! Interesting exercise in pacing, nutrition, fluid rationing, and mental flexibilty! And sometimes, you have obstacles like cargo nets, swimming with car tube etc! Very well run series, with usually about 100 teams competing (across all categories). The one Rowie did on wkend was just outside of Bangkok, and she and her team mate came 1st in the Adv Category Women's (easy!)
See you all on Saturday in your Christmas finery,
Cheers,
Robyn
