OTHER NEWS:
1. New road rules come into force today including one applicable to cyclists. Check them out here
2. Katherine Ultra Challenge date moving to August. Watch this space for confirmation.
3. Rob Weatherald raced in Adelaide on Australia Day. Rob says that you know you are in a big race when they have a separate wave start for the 50+ guys. Not that it worried Rob, he was still on the heels of the elite women and won his age group.
4. More “take care” warnings from our members. The walkways over the mangroves at the back of the hospital are extremely hazardous in this weather and following the high tides are wet, green and covered with fine mud. Three of our members provided much amusement (for some walkers) while out mountain biking at the weekend. Down they came like a wall of dominos !
5. Take care out there on the roads.
6. Missed it myself but apparently many caught a glimpse of Phil Blumberg in the coverage of IM WA at the weekend.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …
… you are happy to swim and run in the rain but baulk at riding for as long as you can
… smelly run shoe odour is part of your life
… you have checked to see if you appear in Photos on our Flickr page
Safe training,
Cheers,
Robyn
