Hi All,
Will you be
heading to the Darwin Show on Friday or taking the time to get some training
done? You may opt instead for a sleep in, and with our cool mornings
sticking around, that sounds like a good option as well.
Speaking of
cool mornings, with the overnight temps below 20 degrees at the moment, we may
opt to allow optional wetsuits for Sunday. Is so, the announcement will be made
on our Website and
Facebook by
Friday this week.
For the
benefit of those new to the sport of triathlon and as a reminder prior to our
first tri for 2012/2013, attached is a list of the 10 most important triathlon

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …
… by 7.30am
you've done a training session and are then trawling a tri website
… you find
it hard to stick to bike path speed limits
… your
wedding takes place on the same beach as the swim start, and in the middle of
your honeymoon your wife gets to wake up at 4am to drop you off there for body
marking
Safe training,
Cheers,
Robyn
