OTHER NEWS:

1. Some Clearwater residents are up in arms after 70.3 Worlds last weekend. They are asking if the disruption to traffic is worth it & questioning the value of the event especially to those business that lose access during the race. Poor Race Directors have a lot to cope with to bring us our favourite events.

2. Lee Wilson recently travelled to Bendigo to complete a Level 2 athletics coaching course. Lee is now a qualified Level 2 Athletics (Middle and long distance running specific) coach and is able to offer DTC and runners club members specific running/technique coaching.

3. Canberra Half Ironman (14 Dec) early entries close 28 Nov 08. Already three NTers entered.

4. Pro triathlete Ali Fitch heads back to USA this week to kick off her next Ironman campaign. Good luck Ali!

5. It's great to see so many people out there training at the moment. A number are recovering from recent bouts of the flu. Ouch, I can relate to that.

6. Mick Outhred had to wait for a funeral to pass in the middle of his ride in the Lombok International Triathlon. It's billed as the toughest triathlon in Asia and appears it lives up to its name. Many of the dns' on the results list took one look at the bike course and opted out.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN...

... you avoid puddles because you don't want to get your bike dirty.
... you are very happy to sit around in training gear
... you are disappointed that airfares to your favourite event destinations always seem to go up just as you decide to book.

Triathlon 3 x the fun (except in duathlon season)
Cheers
Robyn
