Robyn's E News 10 October 2011

Hi All,

What a super turnout for our Reverse Order Triathlon yesterday. Great to see so many of our new members keen to have a go at the different format. Our more experienced triathletes were also out in droves to have a crack at the unusual run, bike, swim format for a change of pace.

A huge thank you to Race Director Jac Crofton who drew this different format altogether for us on the day. Also a big thank you to those volunteers who helped out on roster and those who just jumped in and helped. We really appreciate your contribution.

Darwin Life Saving Club members looked after us in the water and we thank them for providing water safety.

RESULTS:

1. Reverse Order Triathlon, Lake Alexander, 3km run, 13km bike, 300m swim

It got a little chaotic at the finish line yesterday and there are some hiccups with results.

The attached spreadsheet is the best we can do with results at this stage. I’m particularly keen to get the finish order correct (for pointscore purposes). Available photos have been looked at & some individuals consulted already. Please let me know by tomorrow if there are any glaring errors in the finish order (see attached).

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …

… you often talk about “hammer” and “bricks” but you aren’t referring to construction
… you often show up to work in the morning with goggle imprints around your eyes
… the front door of your house resembles a transition area

Safe Training,

Cheers,

Robyn
