Photo: Yet another transition at the Enduro
Hi All,
Another big weekend of training and racing is coming up. Ironman 70.3 Shepparton is on this weekend (good luck to our members competing there) and Ironman WA, Ironman 70.3 Asia Pacific Championships & Ironman 70.3 Canberra are all fast approaching. Darwin is well represented on the start lists of those major events, as well as many others being held around the country over the next couple of months. So it’s all go in tri land !
We take this opportunity to extend our best wishes to club president Phill Hatty who is currently winging his way to Melbourne via air ambulance. Phill had a health scare on Sunday afternoon and was admitted to RDH. He is feeling fine now, but is required to have further specialist treatment this week. Phill is disappointed to be missing Shep this weekend and we are hoping he will be back on deck & home in Darwin real soon.

OTHER NEWS:
1. So if they didn’t have a swim at ITU Long Distance Triathlon World Championships how did they manage the start? They put all the triathletes in a big warm, but stinky tent, then pulled them out age group by age group, and had them line up on the bikes and leave on 5 second intervals.
2. We only have a few club shirts left. Get in quick if you want one.
3. Hopefully you have passed on details of the novice sessions advertised in our last E News. They will be a great opportunity for anyone you know who is expressing interest in taking up our sport or joining the club.
4. For our newer members, a reminder that the TA website contains lots of interesting and informative information. Check it out at www.triathlon.org.au
5. There is a cold/flu thing making the rounds at the moment. A couple of our juniors had it prior to their tour and another has been unwell since. A few of our seniors also have been laid low.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN…
… you really enjoy hearing NTFs (non-tri-friends) say ‘Are you insane?’, when you talk about doing an Ironman
… your significant other knows when you haven’t been training because of your lousy mood.
... you move from a one bedroom apartment to a two bedroom just so you can have a place to store all your training equipment
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
