Hi All,
Our Enduro
is always exciting and as much a mental, as a physical undertaking.
And yes, it
happened. One of the guys was spotted running in his bike helmet – no
names but he was very tall, is a firie and was third overall.
A big thank
you to our one armed RD Luke Hansen (due to recent shoulder surgery) and to all
the helpers who made this event happen. We have fantastic volunteers and,
as always, appreciate their willingness to contribute their time to assist.
We also
sincerely thank those who pitched in to help clear rubbish made by overnight
party goers. It was disappointing to find one of our prime public areas
in that condition due to the selfishness of the minority.
We are now
calling for volunteers for the remainder of the events on our calendar and ask
that all members volunteer at least once a season.
If you are
yet to put your hand up, there are plenty of opportunities coming up in the New
Year. Please check our events
calendar and email your preferred event and roster position.

Congrats to Geri Ford for her efforts at XTERRA Maui last weekend. We are
thinking Geri is the first from DTC to have competed at this event. Can
anyone recall any other Darwin representatives?
2.
Commiserations to Tass Liveris who has succumbed to a tibia fracture which,
after months of training, put him out of the Athens Marathon. We wish him
a speedy recovery. Enjoy that holiday anyway Tass!
3.
You may have noticed Rob Brooks hobbling around on crutches. Rob had some
surgery on his foot recently. Our wishes for a speedy recovery also go to
Rob.
4.
Just a reminder – if you are intending to participate in our events you must be
registered, body marked, racked and ready to listen to the race brief which
takes place 5-10 mins prior to start time. We have had to disappoint a
couple of late comers recently. Registration closes 15 mins before start
time. Remember those on registration are volunteers and may well be
racing themselves.
5. We
had some of the NT junior development squad participating in teams
yesterday. They were very enthusiastic and knew what they were doing due
to some creative colour coding.
6.
Very soon the splash and dash season will be upon us with the first race coming
up at the Waterfront on Friday 15 November 13. To prepare for these
events coach John Thyne is planning to run training sessions at the Waterfront
on Wednesday 6 and 13 of November. Start time will be 5.30pm and will go for
about 45 minutes. So if you are keen to have a practice at this multiple run
swim format then come along to the training.
This
session is open to everyone (12 year and older) who is wanting to do the races,
is new to triathlon or is thinking about getting involved and would like to
come along and see what it is like.
Bring your
goggles, swimmers, running shoes and drink bottle. No charge just come along
and get involved. Contact John on 0423 797 401 if you would like more
information.
