Hi All,
Kyle is the big pre race pick to take out Race 2 of the Aquathlon Series (and the NT Aquathlon Championships) and make a clean sweep. I'm sure that's not going to stop a whole lot of guys having a red hot go at running him down. Anticipate some great racing, whether you are participating or come down as a spectator and encourage the competitors from the sidelines.
If you do come down & don't race it would be fantastic if you could check with the RD that evening as to whether extra volunteers are needed.

2. Photos from the first aquathlon are now up on the Flickr page.
3. Defending NT Aquathlon Champions are Jerome Bosmans & Michelle Gailey.
4. "Once Lance Armstrong has finished his cycling comeback, his sporting career will turn full circle. Armstrong has confirmed widely-held speculation that he will eventually compete in an Ironman triathlon. As a teenager, the record seven-time Tour de France champion was a top-class triathlete over shorter courses in the late 1980s. But he eventually switched to road cycling, where he has become one of the sport's greatest competitors.
"Whenever I'm done with this (comeback). I can unequivocally say yes to that," Armstrong has told the American magazine Outside about entering an Ironman.
"That's a fact and I get asked that question every day. "I don't know when it was, less than a year ago, that I got some of these Ironman DVDs - I said 'let's see what that's all about'.
Typical of Armstrong, he also wants to be competitive when he attempts the gruelling Ironman distance. An Ironman consists of a 3.8km swim, 180km cycle and 42.2km marathon run. The winner finishes in around eight hours and the cut-off time for the late finishers is between 15-17 hours. "I'm definitely motivated to do an Ironman," he said."We'll go back and I'll be close to 40, but I've swam more in the last three years than before that."
5. Information on a raffle being conducted by Port Macquarie Triathlon Club was sent out yesterday. 100% of the money raised goes to Alani Cockshutt, a local 5 year old little girl who has been diagnosed with Leukaemia.
6. Al's back and splits from Race 1 Aquathlon Series are now up on the website. Don't forget to check and let me know of any discrepancies
with your age group, pointscore allocations etc so that adjustments can be made if required.
7. Those dogs out near Finlays did bite someone! The owners have now been ordered to fix the fence. Only one of the dogs was registered. If you have any trouble with dogs chasing you while out riding, please take the time to report to the appropriate council.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN...
... a new bike ups your enthusiasm for cycling by 100%
... you have a stash of Fixamull in your race bag (all cut into useful lengths)
... you are always wet .... sweat, pool, lake, sea water, shower, bath, or rain
Safe training,
Cheers

Hi All,
It's great to see so many people out and about training at the moment. Arafura Games enthusiasm is also building and many have that as their target event for this year. Over the next few months members will also be competing all over Australia and internationally. It's fantastic to see this athlete development.
If you are competing away, please make E News results searches easier for me by forwarding a quick email & letting me know which event/s you are doing (saves my eyes if I know who I am looking for). If you are missed in the results, it's never intentional ... more likely I just wasn't aware you were competing! I don't mind if you dob in a shy mate.
Speaking of dobbing in, it's time to get your half way point nominations in for Dag of the Year. They will get filled away only to resurface at our presentation night. All nominations are confidential so please email those stories of daggy, dumb, funny, silly things that have happened to someone at a race or out training. Now would be a good time, send to ... darwintriclub@bigpond.com

URGENT call for volunteers: Please Mick know if you can help out at registration and/or do fruit & ice.
FOR SALE / WANTED ETC:
1. Any items or reruns for inclusion in Monday's E News by 8pm Sunday please.
OTHER NEWS:
1. The running route website www.mapmyrun.com has resurfaced. Check out Darwin runs if you are looking for inspiration or you may like to add a completely new run. Basically what you do is plot your favourite runs/rides etc on the site by using google earth and it tells you the distances, the elevations, gradient etc. Also you can create your own profile on there and it will tell you your pace, energy used etc etc etc. It keeps tabs on your milage and training for you too. You can choose to save and name your routes on there and other users are then able to see them.
2. As it's a slow news day, thought I would let our club members in on a brief history of triathlon in Darwin ...
Triathlon's had their origins in the NT in the early 1980's with mini triathlons held at Mindil Beach. The inaugural NT Championships were held in 1981 at the same location. The winner was Terry O'Leary and he was presented with the Dondas Family Perpetual Trophy.
An unincorporated triathlon association existed but it was not until 1989 that the Triathlon Association of the Northern Territory Incorporated was formed following a public meeting. Darwin Triathlon Club was also formed and incorporated at the same time.
So its officially a birthday year for Darwin Triathlon Club - we are turning 20 !
Safe training,
Cheers

Have you ever swam in the warm waters of Jimbaran Bay, cycled through the hills of Nusa Dua, or run through Jimbaran Village? Well here’s your chance. The third running of the Bali International Triathlon will be held on June 28, 2009 in Jimbaran Bay, Bali, Indonesia. The lead sponsor is again Four Seasons, which means comfort and class throughout this Olympic distance event. Most importantly, the race will be held in one of the most beautiful and spiritual settings in the world, Bali. If you have never been there, it is an incredible place to visit, let alone to race in. Truly, triathlon for the soul.
Special race packages are available on the race web site, www.balitriathlon.com, and a limited number of heavily discounted Four Seasons packages are also available. So plan that vacation you always wanted to take, and stay a few extra days to explore the lush jungles, river raft, shop or get a Balinese massage. There is also a corporate challenge relay team entry, and a 5k "Fun Run" for family members who don't want to do the triathlon, but want to participate.
You can register at active.com;
Club members can type in BALI09 into the discount code section to get $25 US off the registration fee (good until June 10, 2009).
3. Blue Watt is nursing some nasty bruising after being swiped by a wing mirror while out riding at the weekend. As it appears to have been deliberate makes it even worse. Blue raced the aquathlon on Saturday evening but I'm betting he is feeling a bit the worse for wear now & wish him a quick recovery.
4. In a similar experience, a group riding near Robertson Barracks were almost taken out when a motorist, driving into the sun, decided to cut the corner as they were turning. This prompts a call for everyone to take care out there on the roads and stay alert for inconsiderate drivers.
5. We have a number of members seeking selection in the various Age Group World Championship Teams. Their interest is contagious and a number of you are probably considering having a shot as well. If you are thinking about this, my advice is to familiarise yourself with the Selection Criteria (www.triathlon.org.au ) for the distance you are interested in.
Fees have been announced for the various teams and they include Entry Fees, athlete levies, team dinner/breakfast and athlete pack.
Fee for Olympic Distance (Gold Coast) team is $625; Sprint Distance (Gold Coast) Team $560 and Long Distance (Perth) $680. As the team is self funded athletes are required to arrange own travel and accommodation as well as purchase the compulsory team uniform.
Start your triathlon savings account now. Worth budgeting for!
6. The Triathlon Australia Challenge Series events are proving very popular. Anyone considering racing should get their entries in early.
7. Watch for wet, wet, wet photos from the weekend to be posted to Flickr shortly.
Safe training,
Cheers

The weather on Saturday evening was a great example of why we have aquathlon format events at this time of year. Competitors splashed their way through both the swim and the run when wild weather arrived shortly after race start.
Thanks to Race Director Daryl Stanley for his efforts in staging Race 1 of the Aquathlon Series. A big thank you also to all those who assisted to make the race a huge success as our opening event for 2009.
We had timekeepers sheltering under umbrellas & aside from a couple of smudges they managed to produce a fantastic set of results.
