The maximum amount that any individual member can receive per event is $250, irrespective of how many members apply for funding assistance. Members competing in multiple events may apply for a maximum of two sets of funding.
In order to be eligible for Triathlon NT funding assistance, an applicant must be a financial member of Triathlon NT; have competed in a minimum of three Darwin Triathlon Club, Alice Springs Triathlon Club or Triathlon NT races between 1 July 2008 and 5 April 2009 (please list in application); commence the specified event; supply a copy race results for event you are applying for; and lodge a written application for funding assistance with Triathlon NT within one month of completing the specified event. Note: Condition “d” will be waived for members who competed in events which took place prior to the release of this document; any member who fails to complete the specified event should supply a reason for DNF.
Payment will be made after the completion of the final eligible event ie Ironman Australia Port Macquarie, 5 April 2009, once all claims have been processed.
Written applications including the name and date of the specified event and race results should be forwarded to: Administration Assistant eo@triathlonnt.com.au or Triathlon NT, GPO Box 3938, Darwin NT 0801
OTHER NEWS:
1. Controversy at the ITU World Duathlon Champs in Rimini where first across the line was disqualified along with another competitor for "unsportsmanlike and dangerous behaviour on the first lap of the bike segment which risked the safety of the competitors around them". This gave 2nd across the line, Paul Amey his third title.
2. Lance Armstrong's intentions to compete in the Tour Down Under in January may not come to anything. The international ruling body, ICU, have said Armstrong would have to show that he has complied UCI's “biological passport” rule demanding that athletes must be registered with an anti-doping program for at least six months six months prior to competing.
3. Our members are competing far and wide over the next few weeks. Al Stancombe is off to do the Around the Bay in a Day ride on 19 October, Ali Fitch and Stu Fitch will line up at the Gold Coast Half Ironman next weekend and Louise Ogden, Shaye Hatty, Alison Croser, David Croser and Lee Wilson will be involved in the Melbourne Marathon and Half Marathon on 12 October.
4. Who was that leading athlete who turned early yesterday? He is up there with the best of them. I saw Courtney Atkinson do this once when he had a record 3rd or 4th title seemingly in the bag.
4. E News will now take a break. Any urgent updates will be posted direct to E News on the club website. E News archive can also be viewed there.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN ...
... Ibuprofen is your recreational drug of choice
... your heart rate is below 50 and you are not dying
... you feel lost without your water bottle
Triathlon 3 x the fun
