DTC members heading for Singapore 70.3 next week will join 30 odd elite athletes (including Ali Fitch) vying for a record prize purse of US$50,000, who will be racing with 1,500 age groupers through the two-lap swim course, (the beach is brand new), a freeway based high speed ride over three laps and a shaded multi lap run that is sure to be a huge hit with everyone.
10. People are obviously precious about their Sunday sleep ins. I got a barrage of queries re the start time for this Sunday. It's 7.30am as per calendar, my apologies for inadvertently trying to deprive you of 30 mins zzzzz time.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN...
... Tuesday (yesterday) came with post race thud
... Noosa travel arrangements are sorted
... you were in a team in the long course but have already vowed to go it alone next year
Safe training,
Cheers
Robyn
