OTHER NEWS:

1. Flying high at the start of 2009 with Australia hosting the World Triathlon Olympic and Sprint Distance Championships this year – the ACT Sprint Championships has made history by being the first ever race held in the ACT to reach a capacity field!!!! The race this Sunday is a selection race for those wishing to make the Australian Sprint Triathlon Team. Very heavy interstate interest along with strong local entries has meant that entries had to close yesterday and no late entries will be accepted for this event on the day. If you have entered this event and are unable to compete, please email them urgently as they have a wait list of people very keen to compete. (admin@triathlonact.com.au)

2. Training session: Lee Wilson has hired out Nightcliff pool on Sunday morning to conduct a brick session for some DTC members. If any DTC members wish to utilise the pool between 5:30am – 6:30am then you are welcome to come along. Please advise Lee as numbers will be limited due to public liability ratio’s. The cost will be $3 to cover the hire of the facility but it will depend on numbers attending. If numbers are low it may be a couple of dollars more. Any members wishing to participate in the brick training session are more than welcome, the format will be 1.9km swim/50km ride/10km run (a 2 km loop will be set up for the run so you can do a shorter run if you wish, the weather will be monitored and run cut short if it’s too hot). Cost $2.50. Any questions or if you wish to attend please email or call Lee 0437 700 422 or Lee.wilson@ausport.gov.au.

3. Many members are returning to Darwin after the Christmas New Year break & some look like they have done a bit of secret training while away.

4. There are a couple of you still to receive your club uniforms. Please see me at the race on Saturday & collect. Thanks to Jodie McLeod for her efforts in sorting the sizing problems with the swimwear with Scody. Scody have also generously sent race belts.

Safe training,
Cheers
Robyn
