OTHER NEWS:

1. Mick Outhred is another recovering after coming off his bike and doing some close ground inspection.

2. Alice Springs Tri Club duathlon at the weekend was an interesting affair. They had windstorms, rainstorms and then some instant humidity to contend with.

3. I didn't hear it but I'm told Ian Norton was interviewed on tales of the tinny recently after he removed a hook from a "wife's head" that still had a mullet attached to it! ... they had to remove the mullet before the hook.

4. Media Hound: Beach2Bridge write up http://www.ntnews.com.au/article/2010/08/24/174221_ntsport.html; NT News Preddy ready for Thailand & Tri-hards see attached

5. HG Fitness was a major sponsor of the Junior Come and Try Day. As well, Hollie Goodall was one of the water safety crew. Ditto Kathy McKay who when finally finished acting as a swim buoy needed to thaw out in the sun.

6. Fernwood All Girls Tri wait list continues to grow. Offers for the few remaining places that have become available will be distributed via email from today.

7. There are a lot of blokes out there who are saying they would like to have a bash at triathlon themselves. We are thinking that the upcoming NT Duathlon at Hidden Valley on 19 September 2010 with the 5km run/20km bike/2.5 run format will be ideal for them. Online entry will open shortly but in the meantime how about talking it up ... especially to those guys (and girls) who always say they would love to have a bash but can't swim well enough!

8. Thanks for your positive feedback on photos up on Flickr.

9. Yes that probably was Anthony Beven you saw, he's in town for a couple of days.

10. Have you marked Friday 10 September on your calendar? It's our social event of the year ... Club Presentation Dinner. Details will be out real soon.

Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
