Hi All,
How exciting ! We have the Fernwood All Girls Tri happening again at Lake Alexander this Sunday and our fantastic volunteers & coaches from the club are going all out along with Triathlon NT to make sure all the participants enjoy their triathlon experience.
For many of the girls it will be their very first triathlon. Others will be building on the sense of achievement gained from taking part last year & are back for a repeat taste of tri again on Sunday.
Lots of our newer members started out at Fernwood All Girls Tri before joining the club and we look forward to welcoming new members following Sunday's event.
If you haven't yet volunteered but are available on the day, come on down and check with RD Matt Brearley if there is a spot he would like you to help with. If not, just line the course and encourage these ladies on the day.

OTHER NEWS:
1. Obviously a complete spring clean happening at Pete Svara's place .. someone will get some bargains (see for sale/wanted).
2. For his efforts in the budgie smugglers and life saver skills on the board at Lake Bennett, guess who has been dubbed "The Hoff" !
3. Word is that some of the girls faked a cramp just so they could get closer to him for a better look at those abs.
4. We are all hoping that a heavily pregnant Anna Goat doesn't go into labour before Sunday. Anna has been beavering away in the background organising Fernwood All Girls Tri. Last year she was on the start line !
5. Hope those of you with kids in the 12+ age bracket have received info from their schools on the upcoming Triathlon NT School Sport Triathlon.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN ...
... you can't change the oil in your car but you can virtually rebuild your bike in less than an hour
... articles in tri mags sound just like one you read last year, and the year before that and even 10 years ago
... you can add up swim, bike & run metres in your head, any other maths and you need a calculator.
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
