Robyn's E News 6 June 2012

Hi All,

We had members in action all over the place last weekend.  With Ironman Cairns,  Ironman 70.3 Cairns, City 2 Surf and a zillion other things happening we were a very active lot. 

Congratulations to everyone on their respective results particularly those that pb’d or went up a distance for the first time. Well done.   

With another long weekend coming up, I’m sure there will be lots of people out and about training.  Please take care out there on the roads, it’s very busy. If you are riding in the dark, make yourself as visible as possible … lights, light bright clothing etc.

OTHER NEWS:

1.  I’m sure most of you have seen the Olympic Team announcement.  If not, our guys are Brad Kahlefeldt, Brendan Sexton, Courtney Atkinson and the girls Emma Moffatt, Emma Jackson & Erin Densham.

2.  Who forgot their race number in T1  at Cairns and had to go back frantically searching through race bags to retrieve it?

3.  Sarah Collins ticked doing an Ironman off her bucket list in the best possible way with an age group win at Cairns.  She knocked back her Kona slot (work & family commitments) – which made 2^nd place in the category a very happy.

4.  We are sending our speedy recovery wishes to Adele Butler.  She was unwell the morning of our Olympic Distance was disappointed to be unable to do Race Referee duties.  It turns out that she had appendicitis and ended up having surgery at the end of May.  Get well soon Adele.

5.  Members please be on the alert when riding out near Robertson Barracks as heavy haulage between the quarry near the Barracks and the Blaydin Point LNG facility site has commenced this week.   

6.  We have had a couple of people offer to assist with organising our Presentation Night.  If you can help as well please email here.

7.  I have the latest tri top that we can adapt for club uniform.  Those I’ve shown them to are impressed.  A new order will be taken soon for our club gear.  Hoping to have it locked in and back in time for our NT Long Course Triathlon

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN…

... you don’t like going to Cas Sq because they don’t have a bike shop

…  your 4 year old knows the difference between a half and full ironman

…  you can recognize people by how their butt looks in lycra rather than by their face

Safe training,

Cheers,

Robyn
