Robyn's E News 15 Apr 09

Hi All,

Like everyone, life is very busy at the moment and I've found myself muttering "stop the world, I want to get off" more than once lately. So something has to give.

In my case its the E News.

I've loved doing it, loved getting results to you, loved keeping you informed and in some cases have been educating you in many things triathlon.

But most of all I've tried to make you feel welcome and part of Darwin Triathlon Club. I hope I have succeeded in doing that.

It's a good time to draw the curtain on Robyn's E News. After this weekend we have a break in racing and the Arafura Games info is already out there.

So for the last time from me:
