OTHER NEWS:
1. It's getting closer to Jerome's departure date and with it comes the task of packing up & deciding what to take and what not to take. He is selling his car (2005 Holden commodore), boat (2008 Quintrex freedom cruiser 5.9 m) and some of his furniture (book cases, shelves, filing cabinets, indoor table and chairs etc). If you are interested give him a call on 0401 115 821
2. The road to Mandorah holds no fears for some of those out training long. Channel Island Road is also seeing an increase in cyclists.
3. Belinda Granger's 5th at Roth was pretty exceptional. She was hit by a car in the lead up to the race.
4. In ITU land, the only Australian in top 10 (M &/or F) was Emma Moffatt. Alistair Brownlee (GBR) now has three out of three.
5. Kate Allen (Athens winner) retired on a 7th place 1.55.28 at Kitzbuhel.
6. How good is Chrissie Wellington ... what a record mark to set 8.31.59
7. Steve Denton is now working in Bantam (Indonesia). He hasn't been on his bike for months, but in typical Steve fashion is thinking of getting over to Singapore for the OSIM race. Probably blitz it!

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN ...
... the books beside your bed are under a pile of fitness magazines including, Triathlete, Australian Triathlete & this year's guide to the Tour de France.
... you buy new outfits because you want your look to coordinate with your new bike
... you don't mind another birthday if it means you go up an age group
Train safe,
Cheers,
Robyn
