Other News:

1.  Club Tri Gear update - due to a hold up with sewing, our custom tri gear is now not expected to be in Darwin until early next week.  This is disappointing for those who are waiting delivery and we do thank you for your patience.

2.  Club cotton t shirts have arrived including junior sizes.
They are $15 each for 3 for $40.  Kids sizes  $10 each

If you would like to pre-order t shirt/s and pick up & pay at our event on Saturday, please email darwintriclub@gmail.com with your size/s and I'll let you know the colour choices available.

Sizes go by half chest measurement
Half chest relates to the width of the t-shirt not the body.

Lay a t shirt flat on a flat surface and measure across the front a few centimetres below where the sleeve joins.
First in, best dressed, with these!   Only pre orders received by 8pm Friday will be available at the Waterfront Aquathlon. 






Cheers,
Robyn

Interesting to watch the tactics used in the Off Road Triathlon on Sunday especially when it came to picking a line for the beach run!
Congrats to all the competitors who finished.  There were a few mechanicals along the way & a couple of lap counting oops moments, but everyone enjoyed the morning.

A huge thank you to: RD Luke Fronsko who spent hours setting up the course (and dismantling afterwards); Louise Lamb & Diane Napier who handled check in; Sarah Huddlestone on fruit | ice; Elliot Bolitho on marshalling; Margaret Black who did a mercy dash for more drinks and Robson Bond & Cherie Whitbread who braved jet lag to assist at our drink station.

We also appreciated the many people who helped with set up and pack down of transition on the day.  Thank you!
