Hi All,
Great to see everyone out training so well. It can be a big effort in our conditions but necessary for those who have Challenge Wanaka, Geelong, Singapore 70.3, IM Melbourne, Mooloolaba etc etc coming up over the next few months.

MEMBER FEEDBACK:
1. Note to members from Erin Whitehead: “I moved from Darwin over the Christmas break and was disappointed I didn't join the tri club earlier in the 5 years we lived there! Husband and I have quit our jobs and packed up the house to head off and see the world, so I'll keep up training and slot into races when I can! It was a great club for a newbie to be part of; I'm addicted now and will definitely keep it up.
I missed the last tri for 2011 so didn't get a chance to come and say goodbye and thanks, but thank you to everyone for being so welcoming, especially the encouragement along the runs, and for my efforts on the mountain bike against all those road bikes!”
OTHER NEWS:
1. If you click on the link you will be directed to a Parks and Wildlife page which has a survey (under the second photo down ). It has been suggested that we get as many of our Tri Club as possible to fill it out with a request for a better shoulder on Lee Point road or even a separate cycle path away from the road. It doesn’t hurt to dream. http://www.nretas.nt.gov.au/national-parks-and-reserves/parks/find/casuarina The survey itself doesn’t take long.
2. The Court of Arbitration for Sport has dismissed the appeal by British triathlete Harry Wiltshire to overturn his 6-month suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct. You will remember that Harry did a bit of blocking to the advantage of the Brownlee boys (as if they needed it).
3. Rob Weatherald raced in Adelaide last weekend. Rob says the wind was so strong, they were averaging 60 kph at one stage.
4. The annual Santos Tour Down Under kicks off in SA from 15 January.
5. It appears some spring cleaning may have been happening over the holiday period. Check out the for sale / wanted section for some great bargains.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …
… you are disappointed if your favourite run cap is in the wash
… you are eagerly looking forward to finding out who will get the remaining Olympic tri spots for Oz
… you think an Ironman is easier than a marathon ‘cause you don’t have to start off by running fast
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
