Robyn's E News - 21 Jan 09

Hi All,

Kyle is the big pre race pick to take out Race 2 of the Aquathlon Series (and the NT Aquathlon Championships) and make a clean sweep. I'm sure that's not going to stop a whole lot of guys having a red hot go at running him down. Anticipate some great racing, whether you are participating or come down as a spectator and encourage the competitors from the sidelines.

If you do come down & don't race it would be fantastic if you could check with the RD that evening as to whether extra volunteers are needed.
