OTHER NEWS:

1. Triathlon Australia CEO Anne Gripper and TA Board member David Ferrier were in Darwin this morning and met with Triathlon NT committee regarding the implementation of the new national membership model. Good news for the Territory.

2. A huge thank you to Nic French for answering our call for an Excel Wizard. Thanks to Nic, we now have a back up to our timing database system that Allan Stancombe continues to maintain for us. For those of you who don’t know Al, he is the mainstay (and has been for years and years) of our result production and posting to our website. Al’s contribution to our club is highly valued. A dodgy knee forced Al to drop his tri career a couple of years ago, up until then he was one of our top local age group athletes .. tri’s loss is cycling’s gain as he is now a passionate cyclist.

3. Michelle Mitchell is a nomination in the NT Sportsperson of Year category of the NT Sports Awards. Michelle’s nomination acknowledges her outstanding ironman distance results during 2011.

4. A large group of members are finalising their preparations for Ironman 70.3 Singapore (18 March), we have three looking sharp for Ironman Melbourne (a week later), more preparing for Ironman Australia at Port Mac in May and still others training the house down for Bali and Cairns. And that doesn’t count those specifically targeting our major events coming up. No wonder the competition was up a couple of notches at Palmerston.

5. Photos from MTB tri are up on Flickr. Race 1 photos will be up shortly.

BASIC RULES TO REMEMBER:

Do not ride in the transition area – you must mount and dismount your bike at the marked zones/lines.


Safe training,
Cheers,
Robyn
