Hi All,
What a weekend ! Once again we can be extremely proud of our Kerran Mudgway Memorial Club Championships at Lake Bennett.
Judging by the feedback on Saturday and by email since, our interstate visitors were also very impressed by the location, the atmosphere, the organisation and the very friendly welcome they encountered.
Particular thanks go to the trio of Phill Hatty, Jason Jones & Dave McLeod. Many of you would be oblivious to work done by these guys in the lead up to the race, to the hard physical yakka they put in prior to and on race day, and their willingness to go the extra mile to make sure you all had a great day racing.
I’m sure you were all very grateful for the time and effort Tony Cox put to the task of getting the road repairs done in time for our event, thanks Tony.
Also impressive was the energy and enthusiasm of our juniors to assist. Later arrivals were probably unaware of the assistance given by the Hatty and Jones youngsters to clean up transition prior to & after, and set up the course. They also have aid station running down pat. Watch this space, they could be the NT version of USM in years to come !
Thanks to Cate Killiner Real Estate for sponsoring the post race refreshments for this event ~ the hungry hordes certainly appreciated the spread !
We have so many people to acknowledge including our water safety crew, our timing team, our turnaround marshalls, our technical team, St John Ambulance crew from Batchelor, aid station volunteers and all those who just pitched in to help on the day. On behalf of organisers and competitors ….
THANK YOU, WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO HELP MAKE OUR EVENT SUCH A SUCCESS !

OTHER NEWS:
1. Loved it that our members took 1,2 & 3 overall in both male and female categories at Lake Bennett.
2. We also had the fastest swim Tim Green, fastest bike Brett Verity, fastest run Claire Johnson.
3. Claire was absolutely on fire and came in 5th. But for a tumble at the mount line which left her a little beat up and battered and minus one aerobar arm, she may have placed higher!
4. Brett Verity also won our very first Kerran Mudgway Memorial Club Championships which were held at Lake Alexander in 2002.
5. It was noticeable that some of our competitors need to revisit Race Competition Rules (RCR) after seeing some fundamental rule violations at the weekend. Check out full RCR here or basic rules to remember which are attached.
6. Macca was highest placed Aussie at the ITU World Triathlon Series event in Sydney.
7. It’s going to be a change of pace at our next event. Our teams event is a very social affair, the distance and format means it’s doable by all our members and we would like to encourage you to start getting your teams and themes sorted now.
As a memory jogger, here’s a pic from a previous teams event ….
8. Applications for TA Age Group teams for ITU Sprint and Olympic Distance teams close today here. If you wish to know more about the teams check FAQ.
Safe training,
Cheers,
