Hi All,
You have
probably noticed that it is very busy in local tri-land right now.
We had our
juniors in action at Lake Alexander last Sunday (a huge thank you to Luke
Hansen and parents who helped clean up the party mess prior to the
event). Most of the juniors were brushing up their skills prior to the
Kids Triathlon on this Saturday. Thanks to Luke and all whose wonderful
volunteers for giving up their Sunday morning to assist with our junior
program. Thank you all.
Many of our
members will be participating over this weekend in Triathlon NT’s Ray White
Sprint weekend.
The weekend
after we have our very doable 300/13/3 triathlon coming up which has Try A Tri
spots available for those wishing to have a go before joining Darwin Triathlon
Club.
And wait
there’s more. New members can join now and get up to 15 months membership
for the price of 12. Details here.
