OTHER NEWS:

1. Barry Sullivan had a nasty run in with a stinger yesterday and headed off to hospital for a check up. Up until then he had been enjoying the swim. Obviously it gave him a real shock but happy to report that Barry is fine. Simon Jeggo also had a close encounter.

2. Please thank those 2009/2010 committee members who stood down, Monica Stewart, Korgan Hucent, Nerida Godfrey, Damien Brown and John Thyne for the valued contribution to our club.

3. I encourage you to check the race calendar (it's online if you don't have one) to see when you are on the event roster.

4. Good to see Tass Liveris participating yesterday. Tass & Claire were taken by surprise by the very early arrival of little Andreas and life got turned upside down there for awhile.

5. If you are in Alice Springs next Sunday, how about heading to the Memo Club Car Park for the Get Physical Duathlon. You will be very welcome !

6. And still on Alice Springs, it's only five weeks until Masters Games.

7. ITU Age Group World Championships are just around the corner (12 September in Budapest) so please wish Chad Anderson, Heath Porter and Jason Jones all the best as they head off shortly. The guys have been training the house down since their team selection was announced and they are sure to represent NT and Australia well.

8. The mozzies and midges are pretty tragic at the moment. Probably a good idea for everyone to add insect repellent to their tri bag !

9. Many of you will have received your Triathlon Australia membership cards by now. Can you please check that they are accurate as there have been a couple of errors generated by the system.

10. John Thyne and Bec Thyne conducted a successful clinic on Friday for many of the women targeting the Fernwood All Girls Tri. Great to see a number of partners of members in the start list. Some of the guys are having to start their training earlier to get home in time for the girls to head out. The response for volunteers to assist event director Belinda Birk has also been fantastic and it will be a great introduction to our sport for the women and girls participating.

MORE TRI SPEAK:

... Bodyslam - the full body muscle soreness the day after a race
... Yo-yoer - a person who passes and drops back and repasses and drops back and passes again during training or a race
... Illsuitor - an individual who wears their tri gear backwards or inside out (yes, really)

Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
