OTHER NEWS:

1.  Michelle Gailey (Mitchell) has had her pro spot confirmed for Ironman World Championships at Hawaii.  She will join Kylie Gaffel and yours truly on the Big Island in October.  Congratulations Michelle.

2.  It’s almost as though the weather switch has suddenly been turned on to high.  Hard to believe that in the week before the Long Course we were making a case for wetsuits to be allowed on the grounds of our chilly early mornings.  Where are they now? Miss them already.

3.  John Arrigo recently competed in Ironman New York.  He says organisers had everything planned down to the smallest detail.  Making sure you were on the ferry at 4am wasn’t hard but the few hours wait for race start after that, felt like forever.

4.  Jo Ellis, Marcus Lisle and Amy Pallentine missed NT Long Course due to work commitments. Disappointing for all.

5.  Some of our members featured in results at the NT Athletics championships.  Congrats to Hamish Wiltshire, Bella Hatty and Joseph White. Hear Shaye Hatty also ran well & Lee Wilson was 2^nd in the 5000m.

6.  We had some wonderful feedback from our visitors who competed at the NT Long Course. Volunteers take a bow!

7.  Have any of you registered to assist at Bike Count Tuesday and named Darwin Triathlon Club as your club?

8.  Got some tri news, heading off somewhere to race or have a tri photo you would like to share?  Email here.

9.  You may be interested in an upcoming injury prevention/management session coming up soon.  Details attached.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …

… you have been hanging out for Long Course results to check your splits

… you have a variety of tan lines in odd places

… you have your name on all your swim toys

Safe training,

Cheers,

Robyn
