OTHER NEWS:

1. Who were the glamour pair seen stripping off the formal attire & bling after the Darwin Cup Ball? Same couple then rode their mtb bikes home, finding the high school hill a tad steep. Talk about forward planning.

2. Rod Gregg (former DTC member now living in Katherine) has started preparation for his 10th Ironman Triathlon, IM WA in Busselton, WA this December. Rod has chosen the fundraise for Redkite after learning some family members have been diagnosed with Cancer. He has set a target of $3000.00 and hopes you may be able to support him in his efforts by posting a donation. It’s really simple, just click onto the link below and you will be taken to the “Everyday Hero” page.

5. The pro triathletes are all stepping up their training for Hawaii. Bec Keat just spent 25 hrs over 5 days on the bike. Ouch! Makes my efforts this week look paltry.

7. Beach 2 Bridge is on again this weekend. For Entry forms and further details see http://www.darwinsurfclub.com.au/

8. We bid farewell to Jerome Bosmans this week. He is packed up and ready to go. We wish Jerome all the best with his move and new position in Réunion (an island located in the Indian Ocean, east of Madagascar, about 200 kilometres (120 mi) south west of Mauritius, the nearest island.)

9. The winner of IM UK, Philip Graves went against the norm ... he is 20.

10. Heading for the Cup today? Don't forget the sunscreen.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN ...

... you can graze all day and still be hungry
... you dream about going on a holiday without a bike box
... you finally admit your running shorts are past it and desperately search stores to get exactly the same again



Good luck if you are betting on the Cup,

Cheers,

Robyn
