Hi All,
Many of you
have expressed your disappointment on hearing the news this morning that NT
Government has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2013 Arafura Games.
Triathlon has been part of the Games since 1991 so it’s sad to hear that
news.
Those of
you already targeting Arafura will be happy that our NT OD Triathlon will
likely still take place around that time, so watch this space.
But that’s
all in the future, we have our Enduro event coming up this weekend that many
are really looking forward to. Welcome to our new members who have signed
up recently and to those who have said it is especially to participate at this
event!
You will
find there has been some work done on the speed bumps at Lake Alexander which
should make riding there a whole lot smoother.
FOR SALE: CLUB CAPS, VISORS & RANDOM UNIFORM ITEMS:
1.
Thanks to those who have placed orders. Some items are still available
and you can see photos of, order & pay for your cap, visor or random
uniform items here.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …
… you think
an Ironman is easier than a marathon because you don't have to start by running
fast
… your
bicycle has a name, sleeps INSIDE the house, and is worth more - emotionally
and monetarily - than your car
… you are
actually interested in the kilometre by kilometre recap in answer of the fairly
innocuous question, "So, how was your race?”
