E NEWS 13 APRIL 16

 

Congratulations to all our members who participated in Triathlon NT's NT Sprint Distance Triathlon C'ships, Kids Triathlon and the NT Junior Championships at the weekend.

It was a huge weekend of triathlon particularly for the volunteers, many of whom were on hand helping out on both days.

The NT Sprint also hosted the third of our annual Women's & Sprint Series events, and on behalf of our members we extend a big thank you to RD Phill Hatty, all the volunteers and also to the Vision Money (Mortgage & Finance Brokers) for their support & awesome post event breakfast.

This weekend we have the first of our Duathlon events coming up and I know many of the bike | run specialists are looking forward to not having to start with a swim for a change.

See you there on Sunday!
