Robyn's E News - 28 Jan 09

Hi All,

Hope you have all recovered from your weekend race and all the Australia Day festivities. There are some out there recovering from over exposure to the sun, a few with aches and pains from undertaking such strange activities such as gardening and/or tree trimming and some from running too fast or too slow in the Australia Day fun run etc. There are also some good stories around about what went on and where.

3. Ironman China and Ironman 70.3 China happen 19 April 2009 at Haikou and these races are billed as your Oriental gateway to Kona and/or Clearwater. Further info: http://www.ironmanchina.com

4. Miss having the Tour Down Under to watch. Some of our members were on the spot, including David Croser and Chad Anderson. The crowds were awesome - must have been the Lance factor.

5. Certificates were awarded to Age Group winners at the NT Aquathlon Championships. I will take to next event for those who missed collecting.

TRIATHLON TRIVIA:

Q. One of the rules of triathlon is that you must have your torso covered for the bike and the run. What is your torso?
A. That section of the body extending from the base of the neck to the base of the sternum. (Translation - guys have to wear a singlet or a top - no bare chests please.)

Safe training,
Cheers
Robyn
