E NEWS 7 SEPT 17
Happy
to report that our very first TRIFEST, held weekend before last, was
a huge success.
Our sincere thanks go to our hard working TRIFEST Race
Director Tony
Cox for overseeing this event for us.
Tony was assisted greatly that weekend by Brian
Gallagher and Elliott Bolitho who helped
out with set up and swim course marking.
Also helping out were our wonderful volunteers on
registration, Jac Crofton and Sally
Broadley; on Fruit | Ice we had Chris
Monahan, Kerry Sullivan and Deanne Jewell; Rob
Spiers & Barry Sullivan manned the
far road bike turnaround; aid station angels included Spy, Christine Dames,
Glenn Grant, Joe Librio, Brett, David
Hancock, Belinda Townend & Ange
Librio; finish line numbers were taken mostly by
Deanne and Rena Walker assisted with
presentations.
We sincerely appreciate our amazing volunteers including all
those who pitched in to help in various other ways as required!
President of Triathlon NT Aaron McMahon was on hand to
present the awards for the 2017 NT Long Course Triathlon Championships.
Thanks to Aaron for coming down to Lake Bennett and to Triathlon NT
for supporting the event.
Our friends at Wicked NRG
and Cafe Central
contributed to our lucky draw prizes and we'd also like to acknowledge
their support of TRIFEST.

Junior News:
Rena reports our next junior
event will be this Sunday 10 Sept 17, also at Lake Alexander with an
earlier 7am start time to align with the Super Sprint event (Please be
there by 06:45 for
registration).
Juniors are to register and pay on the day
but, if you are planning to attend, please shoot Rena a quick
email in advance so she has approximate numbers for catering purposes
darwintriclubjunior@gmail.com
PLEASE feel free to pass this info on to friends who you think will be
interested in coming along, the more the merrier.
Fee for participation: Members $3 and Non-Members
$10
Please note: Club membership for
juniors does not auto renew. To check out and pay membership please
click here. You will notice Darwin Triathlon Club portion
of the membership has stayed the same as last year.
The kids will be doing a "swim" run
event while the adults are competing in the super sprint event.
Please bring goggles and running shoes, no bikes this time. If
your child needs assistance and close supervision in the water we ask that
a parent be ready to be involved in the water activities. We will be
in shallow water so if your child can't swim well they can walk, blow
bubbles, kick with parent assistance etc.
We will be running some fun water and land based activities
for the younger and less confident kids. Then they will do a couple
of micro events with the 'swim' and run distances adjusted according to
their ability. The older kids 9+ can choose to do slightly longer
distances according to your child's confidence and capability.
Rena likes to hear from parents and kids if you have any
feedback on how we can improve the events we are running, especially if you
have any new ideas we can try. If you would like more information on
our junior events please feel free to email Rena at darwintriclubjunior@gmail.com
