Hi All,
All eyes (and training focus) now turn to the next major event on our calendar - the NT Long Course Triathlon Championship to be held at Berry Springs Resort on Sunday 16 August 2009, start time 7am.
That's only three and a half weeks away folks, so I encourage you to go to www.triathlonnt.com.au and complete your online entry.
Please ditch that horrid NT habit of leaving everything to the last minute and assist organisers by getting your entry and payment ($15 individual) done right now.
Sounds like there are some interesting teams forming and they also need to register asap as well.

1. Vineman Ironman 70.3, 1.9km swim, 90km bike, 21.1km run

1. Thanks to all those who have renewed their membership online. This process greatly reduces the workload of volunteers and TNT staff.

OTHER NEWS:

2. Darwin Cycle Club's "Around the Bay" ride to Mandorah is on Sunday 9 August 2009. Fact sheet attached. Cycle club members $42 Non members $50
3. In the history of the Tour de France, no cyclist has ever climbed a mountain as fast as Alberto Contador rode up to Verbier. His climbing rate was 1900 m/hour, breaking the old record held by Bjarne Riis of Denmark at 1843 m/hour. Decide for yourself if this was due to tactics/race situation, doping, following wind or physiological ability! Whatever, it's awesome climbing, and no one matched him.
4. Early-bird entries for Ironman Western Australia close at 5pm, Friday 31 July – by entering before this date, you can save yourself up to $45. Visit the Ironman WA website for further information.
5. Some of our members will be in action at the Darwin Half Marathon this weekend. Good luck to those participating (individual & teams).
6. Ron Greip almost has shares in a pharmaceutical company following his airborne antics at the crit on Thursday. He has "marked ac dislocation and the suggestion of a clavicle fracture" along with lots of road pizza. Helmet split in two - the least of his worries. We wish Ron a very speedy recovery and Raz the patience to deal with the patient! Seems great riding skills saved Jason Jones from the same fate.
7. IMG has secured a total of 100 qualifying slots to the 2010 Ironman World Championship. World Triathlon Corporation have now assigned the following breakdown of slots between pro and age group athletes: 2009 Ironman Western Australia – 40 spots: 4 x pro, 36 x age group and 2010 Ironman Australia – 60 spots: 5 x pro, 55 x age group

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN ...
... you have a drawer of lycra in your freezer
... you can drink a cold can of anything wet in 10 secs flat
... you buy your running shoes half a size bigger to accommodate that black toenail
Enjoy the Show if you are heading that way,
Cheers,
Robyn
