Hi All,
Did you Ride to Work today?
We had a great response to our tri suit & club shirt order and the order has been placed. Unfortunately we didn’t receive enough orders to go ahead with the men’s swimmers or the ladies one piece. Those who ordered these items will receive an email shortly regarding refunds.

HOW CAN YOU HELP AT OUR EVENTS?
1. Even if you are not a rostered volunteer there are many small things that you can do that will assist at our events.
2. It’s a given that all participants help set up and pack away our equipment. Even if you only put one rack back in the trailer it helps. Ask the RD of the day if there are any buoys, witches hats or signs that you can help put out or pick up.
3. Please put any rubbish in a garbage bag. Can’t see a bag? They are kept in our race box near the registration table ~ feel free to get one out if needed.
4. Not competing? You can assist us by helping prepare post race refreshments (cut up fruit, ensure drinks are on ice etc).
5. One of the best ways to help is to ensure you are early to our events. Our registration volunteers are often competitors themselves and need to get registration closed on time so they can be ready to listen to the race brief as well.
6. If you have a particular skill that could be of benefit to our club, please feel free to chat to any of our committee or email darwintriclub89@bigpond.com
FOR SALE / WANTED ETC:
1. Items for next E News & requests for advt re runs by Sunday 9pm please

1. Variety is calling on you, your family & friends to embrace the Christmas spirit and help raise money for sick and disadvantaged children. Join the Variety Santa Fun Run (2km) to be held on Sunday 27 November 2011 at Mindil. More information at www.varietysantafunrun.com.au – dust off that Santa suit and commit now !
2. An owner has been found for the forlorn Nikes left in transition. It’s a good idea to do a final check before leaving after a race to ensure you haven’t left anything behind. It’s amazing what we forget at times!
3. The Crowie interviews post Hawaii show just what a fantastic ambassador for our sport he is.
4. Entries for Ironman 70.3 Busselton open at 10am (WST) on Wednesday 19th October 2011 for TWA/TA members. General public entries will open on Thursday 20th October at 10am (WST) if entries are still available. More info: www.busseltonhalf.com
5. Those doing the Noosa Triathlon are training the house down at the moment.
6. Course record holders at Noosa are Male: Craig Walton 1997 1:44:13 (out and back course) and Female: Emma Carney 1997 1:54:22 (out and back course).
7. Craig has recently been appointed by Triathlon Australia as National Talent Coach (Qld/NT) so hopefully we will see him in the Territory in the not to distant future.
8. Feeling a bit beat up and battered lately? The build up does that. Up those fluids.
9. Our club will be receiving a donation of $100 as two people nominated Darwin Triathlon Club in the recent Bike Count Tuesday. One was Leigh Milne, not sure of the other, was it you?. Many thanks.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …
… you mow your legs more often than your grass
… your hair is never dry
… going to work is your recovery time
Safe Training,
Cheers,
