Hi All,
What can you say? It was challenging, it was muddy, it was slippery and that was just the swim ....
Our thanks to RD Dingo Hall for setting up a MTB Triathlon Course that had everyone on their toes from start to finish. Sales of Napisan will have rocketed and there will be full bike cleans required, but the 60 odd competitors enjoyed every minute. A big thank you also to the many volunteers who assisted Dingo, especially those who jumped in to help marshall.
Suggest this will be a much talked about event and there will be mud stains on race gear forever !

OTHER NEWS:
1. Did you know that Darwin Triathlon Club's website contains a section where members can post items for sale, let others know of training possibilities, find riding partners etc etc. A "how to" will be published soon for those not familiar - otherwise just bungle through like I do. No anonymous postings please (although my user name came up anonymous, I did sign off & I'll get better).
2. Stu Fitch's age group win at Geelong yesterday was his third. Also means he is the Half Ironman Series age group champ in M55-59. Well done, Stu.
3. A calendar review is currently underway. If you have any comments or suggestions for next season's events now is the time to speak to one of our committee members or contact Mick Outhred who is driving this review.
4. The Honour Board on the club website has been updated to include perpetual trophy winners. I would also like to include our age group pointscore winners so watch that space.
5. The special fares on Garuda Indonesia look like tying in nicely with the Bali International Triathlon (28 June 09). Don't forget race directors are extending a special Club Discount to our members of $25 US. Club members can type: BALI09 into the discount code section on active.com. when they enter. Further information: www.balitriathlon.com
6. The timekeepers yesterday did their best in a difficult situation but we are missing some times so may not get splits done. Please email me if you finished the race & there is no result showing, or it's incorrect. Also let me know if you did not finish. If I can have by 7pm tonight please it would be appreciated.
7. We extend a big welcome to those members who have joined the club recently. It's great to see you out there enjoying the sport of triathlon.
