Hi All,
A changeover of email system has provided a few hiccups. My apologies if you didn’t receive E News last week.
If this isn’t on your preferred email account, please let me know and I’ll change immediately.
We have woken up to fantastic news from Europe this morning … Michelle Mitchell won Challenge-Barcelona Maresme (iron distance) overnight. Well done Michelle.
Our junior season got underway yesterday. The junior committee did a great job organising at what proved to be a somewhat difficult venue.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …
… blisters, chaffing, road rash and sunburn (and the occasional black toe) are just a minor annoyance
… you have more water bottles than wine glasses in your cupboard
… you have Plan A, Plan B and “try not to die” race plans
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
