Robyn's E News 7 November 2011


Photo: Enduro start - wave 1 underway



Hi All,


We had an awesome turnout for our Enduro event at Lake Alexander yesterday morning. Thanks to Race Director Bertram Birk for his efforts in bringing this race together. Although it appeared effortless, there was a great deal of behind the scenes prior planning, (including a venue change). Bertram was assisted by many volunteers on the day and we would also like to thank them for their efforts.

Our events depend on the contribution of our members (and often their family & friends) and we really appreciate their willingness to help out, particularly on race day.


While we were enjoying the Enduro mayhem, our juniors were in action in Queensland. All reports have the kids doing us proud and really stepping up this year. Heard they looked great in their club shirts and tri gear as well. Their results aren’t available until mid week.

OTHER NEWS:

1. The swim portion of ITU Long Distance World Championships in Nevada at the weekend, had to be cancelled due to unsafe water conditions. Read 17 degree water temp and heavy rain prior mucking with water quality.

2. Nature also wrecked havoc at the ITU World Cup event in Columbia. Massive mud slides in Guatape saw the event shortened to a sprint distance.

3. WTC has announced a shake up of their Lottery slot policy. Further details www.ironman.com

4. Members Cate and Sean Killiner recently recommenced training after some time away. They have had two swims at the Lagoon at the Waterfront in the last week or so and been ‘attacked’ by the dreaded fish on both occasions.

Last week was particularly bad. It seemed to them that there were two fish, and while one was at Cate the other was having a go at Sean. The one that chased him appeared to be a queen fish around two foot long. It seems like they are very territorial as they wouldn’t let up and virtually harassed both of them from the rock wall all the way back to the beach – got the heart rate up!!

5. I debated the wisdom of adding the above to the E News given our next event will be at the Waterfront location. But then, the same thing was happening before our last hit out there & on the day no one had any trouble at all …. there’s safety in numbers & as our numbers have been huge I think it will be the fish that will be looking for an out of the way place to hide !!

6. Remember the mention in previous E News of the little Panasonic robot undertaking the Hawaii Ironman course? Well EVOLTA has made it … & conquered Kona in 166 hours 56 mins. !

7. You were warned … that the Enduro was also an exercise in brain gym ! We had people donning goggles when they should have been running, swimming in the wrong order, shoes still on heading for the swim, helmet undone before racking, half laps on the bike, etc etc. All good fun and rectified on the go !

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …

… you are a bloke and you start to think seriously about the merits of shaving your legs

… you are a bloke and you have ditched shaving your legs for regular waxing

… you start talking about an easy hour swim, an easy three hour ride or an easy 10 km run

Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
