Hi All,
The weather gods have been good to us of late. With so many people targeting longer events, members are popping up all over the place on the bike and/or running doing longer sessions so it's great to have the weather finally onside for even a few days.
On running, isn't it interesting where you find water sources and plan your runs accordingly? I'm thinking of launching a mission to have water bubblers fixed at McMillans Road roundabout and also Lee Point/Vanderlin roundabout. They are pretty much museum pieces and haven't worked in forever but are strategically placed. I've often wished I could still get a drink at both places.

OTHER NEWS:
1. Way over the top - 2XU’s newest product for 2010: A $900 wetsuit named “Project X”. So who will be the first up here in one of these I wonder?
2. Good luck to the "bold and courageous" Phil Brownscombe who will be tackling the Audax Alpine Classic 200km MTB event from Bright, Vic on Sunday.
3. Kyle Gear has been on a steep triathlon learning curve of late. He's been down training with a development squad in NSW and Vic and having his first taste of draft legal racing. It's tbc whether Kyle will be in action in Canberra at the weekend.
4. Chad Anderson definitely on the way to ACT for the Australia Triathlon Champs. Good luck to him & to all those competing in the National Capital.
5. President of Cairns Crocs Tri Club says he and a few other members are heading for Guam for the xterra event there & thought some of our members may be interested. It's a 1km ocean swim, 35km mountain bike non technical bike ride & a 8km run with the last part being through water falls & rivers. How awesome would that be. Date 27 March 2010.
Prices are still being worked out for them but about $1500 should cover air fares from Cairns $820 pp, entry fee $70 & 6 days accommodation depending on numbers & accommodation standards. It's about a 4 hour flight north into the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Continental Airways fly direct from Cairns but not every day. Further info on attached flier or see www.xterraguam.com
6. Paul Bell has been out riding with Phil Liggett. Locals think it's great weather but Paul has yet to ditch the armwarmers.
7. Great to see Vincent Gilly is back training after his recent near death experience on the bike.
8. There's been more lane juggling at swim squad. Graeme Parsons appears to have ditched the latte lane for good; we welcomed Tara Luck back after a couple of years absence; Louise Ogden has also made a welcome reappearance; Liam Johnson fitted in nicely in the superstar lane; Phil Hatty was seen to be leading the middle lane and Korgan Hucent is going for a PB of straight attendances.
9. Don't forget coverage of the Tour Down Under is nightly on SBS.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN...
... you are tempted to do your long rides in togs so you don't have tan lines visible for your next race.
... you are convinced that if you rest more than one day your muscles will atrophy & everyone in your age group will beat you at the next race
... you see your kids playing pretend transition set ups
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
