Hi All,
It’s crazy time again. From the frantic shopping taking place and the dashing around to various functions by many of us, one would think Christmas is next week. But no, it’s November last time I looked & we still have two events before Santa comes. !
Our next event is at Lake Alexander this Friday evening and is the second of our wet season Splash N Dashes. A reminder that the distance for this event has been shortened to a very doable and enjoyable 300m swim, 2km run x 2 instead of the x3 originally listed. Teams welcome.
Don’t forget to cross off Friday 16 December 2011 6pm on your calendars …. that’s our special Christmas Splash N Dash at Nightcliff Pool. Not to be missed, this event also has our juniors in action. For those who haven’t done it before, seniors and juniors also team up for a relay after our listed events, and it’s the best event of the year !!
