Photo: Start time Christmas Splash N Dash

Hi All,

Friday evening’s Christmas Splash N Dash was a huge success, weather & attendance wise ! We certainly had an increase in the number of Santas racing, the reindeers were also very active and tinsel was sparkling ! Great touch with the finish line lolly bags don’t you think?

A huge thank you to Rob Weatherald who puts his very individual stamp on this event each year and who had the seniors and the juniors hopping ! Thanks also to junior coordinator Jason Jones who assisted Robbie and also to our many volunteers who helped make the event a successful end of year outing.

President Phil Hatty and your Darwin Triathlon Club committee would like to thank all members, from the youngest to oldest who have raced this year, all our wonderful volunteers who have given of their time, our coaches who have continued to assist members to achieve their goals and our sponsors who have contributed to our events … together we have had another fantastic year of triathlon and we look forward to bringing our members more of the same in 2012.

Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year !. Stay safe out there on the roads if you are driving or riding and we will see you all again at our first event for 2012 – Race 1 of our Aquathlon Series at Nightcliff Pool.
