4. Your Dag of Year and Best Bike Crash nominations for 08/09 are requested. We need your help in choosing our Dag of the Year for 2008/2009. If you have someone in mind, please email with a brief outline of the "daggy" deed done, when, where etc. All nominations are confidential, so feel free to spill the beans on those among us who have had a "daggy" experience during the year. Criteria for Bike Crash award is self explanatory, so think back and let us know who came off and where. Send to darwintriclub@bigpond.com .

7. Was anyone able to watch Network Ten's one HD channel replay of the women's ITU race at Kitzbuhel, Austria yesterday? The men's race is scheduled to show at 4pm today.
8. Ladies, it may be best to stay out of the pool judging by this report: "Magdalena Kwiatkowska is absolutely certain her thirteen-year-old daughter is pregnant because of wayward sperm wafting about in the currents of an Egyptian hotel's swimming pool. She is so certain, in fact, that her daughter's delicate condition is due to "something in the water" that she is suing the hotel where she and her family, including the teenager, recently spent several weeks on vacation."
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN...
... rather than be awake thinking about something, you get up and do it
... Gu is a regular ingredient of your diet
... the majority of the contents of your wardrobe are lycra based.
See you all on Sunday,
Cheers,
Robyn
