OTHER NEWS:

1. Olympic champion, Emma Snowsill, has undergone keyhole surgery to repair minor damage to the labrum cartilage of her hip.

2. Jason Shortis made the podium at IM Lake Placid, crossing in 3rd spot in 8.58.09.

3. Please note that the velodrome will not be available for use between 6 August 09 and 23 August 09 because it is being used for a Tracks dance production.

4. Our congratulations to Hollie & Tim who tied the knot.

5. Anyone entering IM WA or IM Australia will be in the running to win a return flight to Hawaii. Hawaii Airlines are giving away FOUR return flights from Sydney to Hawaii in 2010. A random draw of two names will take place - that's two winners from each event.

6. And another competition currently running can win you two places on the 2009 TriTravel Hawaii tour. This one requires you to purchase a TriumphTriaction sports bra before 13 Sept 09.

7. If you thought you saw Steve Denton in town over the weekend you were right. Steve's back for a few days.

8. More spotting, Jenny Kirby is back in Darwin working for a few weeks and Kris & Stacey Bitz have returned from a stint overseas.

9. Also at the half marathon yesterday we were well represented in the team categories, including Ernie Koch who teamed with Arum Mahajani in "Team Oldies". Well done guys. Peter Stephens teamed with son Hamish and Lee Wilson & Donna were also among those who teamed up.

10. A thought for reducing the T d F ... only have the Verbier climb and an individual time trial .. that's where it was all done and won.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN...

... you find yourself checking out the bikes rather than the gorgeous guy/gal riding them !
... you run with a fuel belt
... your main attire consists of old event t shirts (dead giveaway)

Cheers,
Robyn
