Robyn's E News 22 Nov 10

Hi All,

Our Splash N Dash at Lake Alexander attracted a large crowd and went off really well. Race Director Phil Brownscombe treated us to a figure of eight transition which worked a treat. A huge thank you to Phil and to all the other volunteers who assisted with putting this event together and ensured it all ran smoothly.

A big welcome to all our new members. Their enthusiasm rubs off. We hope you have all been made to feel very welcome. I'm sure you will be glad you joined up ... we have a long history of ensuring new members enjoy having three times the fun.

Joining is easy online at https://www.securedvirtualnet.com/Sma/Triath/ . 2010/2011 membership is a mere $110 for seniors and $40 for juniors.
A family membership (2 adults, 2 children) is $220.

And no, it doesn't cost less next year. We have so many events & activities happening we think joining DTC is great value whatever time of year you join. Where else do you get to tri for $5 ... your fellow triathletes around Australia think nothing of paying $70 - $100 + .... and that's for each race !!

OTHER NEWS:

2. The Tiger Brennan Drive Family Fun Run/Walk is on Sunday 28 November 2010. Pre-registration is required at www.growingnt.nt.gov.au

3. The team of Simon Cruickshank, Mark Anzin & Phil Brownscombe head down to Canberra this weekend for the AROC Paddy Pallin Adventure Race. The classic course is approx. 10km on foot, 20km mtb and 5km paddling. If completed in a certain time, competitors can move onto the advanced course ... more of the same. Good luck guys !

4. Stu Fitch was in a team at the Sri Chinmoy Triple Team (also in Canberra) at the weekend. They were 6th team overall and first in the 50+ team category. Stu did the 3.5km swim in 47.50 and the 12km run in 57.45.

5. Jac Crofton's new TT bike created a stir at the Splash N Dash on Friday.

6. Before leaving a race venue always check you have all your gear. So many things get left behind it's only a matter of time before someone loses something important. Besides, it's a big ask to expect someone to have your stinky shoes or singlet at their place until you wake up to the fact that they are missing.

7. Racing may have been over and done with Friday evening but Darwin was crawling with people out training over the weekend.

8. Weekend form guide: Shaye Hatty spent her birthday morning spinning her legs over in preparation for the Laguna Phuket Tri next weekend; Sue Parora was spotted in perfect time trial position on Dick Ward Drive; Tony West may be on the comeback trail as he was seen jogging comfortably at Fannie Bay; Simon Cruickshank had the wheels on the Time machine spinning; Bec Thyne was spotted getting some secret bike time in; Alex Moraitis is back (in Darwin and on the bike); Col Smith and Karen Wilson were keeping each other honest in a swim, bike brick; Steve Goat had a final hit out for Ironman WA and is looking great; and that's not counting those doing extra swimming and training tri's ... phew ... it's all go in tri land !

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN ...

... you think it's hardly worth dirtying your training gear for an 8km run in a recovery week.
... you look up the yellow pages in each place you visit to see if they have any bike shops catering for triathletes
... you are still convinced that if you rest more than one day, your muscles will atrophy, your super-fit body will turn into a pile of mush and everyone in your age group will beat you.

Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
