Hi All,
Our
Christmas Splash N Dash is always fun and it was great that so many were also
able to stay afterwards and enjoy our end of year sausage sizzle.
A huge
thank you to RD Rob Weatherald, Junior Coordinator Luke Hansen and to the many
volunteers who contributed to the success of this joint senior/junior event.
As the year
draws to a close and many depart Darwin for all corners of the globe, President
Steve Goat and your Darwin Triathlon Club committee would like to thank all our
members, from the youngest to oldest who have raced this year, all our
wonderful volunteers who have given of their time, our coaches who have
continued to assist members to achieve their goals and our sponsors who have
contributed to our events - together we have had another fantastic year of
triathlon and we look forward to bringing you more of the same in 2014.
Have a safe and happy festive season.

OTHER
NEWS:
1. We
wish Haydn Whitty a speedy recovery from injuries sustained at IM 70.3 Canberra.
A motorist drove onto the closed bike course and collided with Haydn and
another competitor. The female competitor was released from hospital a
few hours later but Haydn was detained overnight for scans and
observation. Haydn would be first to recommend wearing of bike helmets
anytime you are riding a bike.
2.
Bad luck for Tim Green who was a dns at IM 70.3 Canberra due to food poisoning.
3.
Former DTC president Kylie Sheffield and Shef send their regards to
members.
4.
Welcome back Julian Weller.
5.
Farewells continue, among the most recent, Michael Varga and Liz Mackie who
have headed south this week.
6.
Christmas and New Year is traditionally time to make race
decisions. If you are entering an away race we thoroughly recommend
putting your suburb as “Darwin” and your postcode. Most race announcers
recognise “Darwin” but are inclined to skip over suburbs. Also helps to
let people know that we have a thriving tri community in the Top End.
7.
Don’t forget we go to online registration for all our events in the New
Year. This will reduce workload for volunteers, enable us to know how
many competitors we need to cater for and also save our members from raiding
the kid’s money boxes to find change for race entry fees.
8.
Our fees have also had a small increase to help cover the cost of water safety,
St John Ambulance attendance at events, permits etc. Fees include online
processing charge.
9.
Racing away over the next month or so? Do let us know where you (or
someone you know) will be lining up.
10.
This is the last E News for 2013 – do hope you have enjoyed receiving it.
Any news or announcements over the holiday season will be posted to our
Facebook page and website, so check in regularly.
Wishing you all a very happy Christmas,
Cheers,
Robyn
