MEMBER FEEDBACK:
The following is some feedback from fellow club members:
1. From Jo, a past Treasurer and long term member who recently moved from Darwin:
I wanted to thank all past and current members of the Darwin Triathlon Club for making it a fantastic group to be a part of. I especially wanted to thank all those people who gave me advice, coaching, support, and friendship. Goodbye to you all. Safe and happy racing.
2. From Danealle, a new member:
As a new member, can I take this opportunity to thank the club so much. I have competed in the past 3 events and have not only had a really enjoyable time but am so impressed with the professional way in which the races are run, in a manner that is so approachable and friendly. As a new mum only recently back to exercise I have also been so impressed with the number of other new mums with bubs in tow, also getting out and having a go. It is very motivational. I also really enjoy your news e mails.
3. From Paul, who has recently moved to NSW:
Thank you for the fantastic assistance and dedication that you have provided and have made my introduction to triathlons a very pleasant experience (although I don't feel that at the end of each race :o) The organisation and running of the club is second to none and I will miss the fortnightly races.
OTHER NEWS:
1. Sophie Hawken is back racing and has had three wins in regional Victorian triathlons this month. Way to go Sophie.
2. Team Timex member Stu Fitch is back from USA where he attended the annual Team Timex camp (with temperatures in the minus at times, a real change from Darwin conditions).
3. Ironman 70.3 Singapore entry is still open.
4. Limited entries remain for individual entry to Mooloolaba Triathlon. Click here for more details.
5. New Ironman 70.3 Lanzarote has been announced. Kicks off 10 November 2012 at Club La Santa, Canary Islands. Might be enough to bring Paul Drossou out of retirement !
6. Jo Duncan remembers a time (perhaps 14 years ago) that Col & Trish Smith rescued her son when he was lost on a run in East Point. She also remembers another time that Tony Cox dived in to assist the swimmer who was in a team with her kids. She had been accidently kicked in the head during the swim & was very upset. Jo says thanks again !
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …
… new running shoes get you out there with added enthusiasm
… you check the progress of the new bike path at Leanyer (often)
… can’t get enough to drink
Safe training,
Cheers,
Robyn
