Hi All,
Nice to see some sun over the last couple of days but wow ... it sure kick starts the mould !
Triathlon NT will be conducting a Technical Officials Course next week (details below). We would like to encourage as many as possible to undertake this course. It's not onerous, a couple of hours for the course, an open book exam and a practical component.
Tick those boxes and you will then be able to TO at one of our events. We know many of you also wish to compete and that's fine. We would just like to increase the number of people available and that could be you, if ever you are injured or in recovery mode following an event.
Parents of our juniors are especially encouraged to do this course. It's also a great way to learn the rules of our sport.
