Hi All,
A flat tyre on the trailer necessitated a quick change of plans for the race yesterday morning. Transition was set up down near the shed & athletes had a bit of brain gym remembering which way to go in and out of T1 & T2. Some managed better than others !!
Our thanks to Race Director Rob Brooks and the band of helpers who assisted with this event. We are proud of our club culture of willing volunteer assistance and this race was no exception. Well done everyone who helped with set up, timing, fruit & ice, pack up etc etc!
It was also great to see the large number of spectators down encouraging all the competitors and giving our new members a warm welcome.

OTHER NEWS:
1. Jerome Bosmans has been in Europe for over a month now & still has a few weeks leave to go. He says its a torture not been able to train properly and he has been mainly doing ocean swims with the wet suit (15-17 degrees C.), running and some cross training such as quad (?), trekking in the Pyrenees (up to 2,700 m high with some "eternal snow"), a lot of driving from North to South of France and a bit of partying! He says watching the Tour de France live is great and Bastille day was memorable (Cadel Evans got the yellow jersey! the French are not tough enough). The weather is a bit chilly according to Jerome, but coming from Darwin, Europe is always freezing! He has also put on weight, probably two kilogrammes, too much good and buttery food!
2. Al Stancombe hopped off the plane from Europe and was straight down to race at Lake Alexander. That's keen ! Welcome back Al.
3. After our baby boom it's good to see Alison Hill back participating. Reports also that Emma Winterflood has been spotted back out on the bike as well.
4. The latest Australian Triathlete mag has a write up on Hawaii 70.3 age groupers and DTC members get a good mention.
5. Ali Fitch was competing overnight in Ironman USA Lake Placid & came down in atrocious conditions. She was second out of the swim and about 30 secs down when at around 70km into the ride Ali came off her bike. There was torrential rain that obscured a pothole in the road, and when she hit she went over the handlebars and landed (initially) on her head. Her helmet is cleanly split in half, from end to end. Shortly after Ali’s prang two other riders provided encores in the same pothole. She has a lot of (relatively) light road rash from shoulder to ankle reduced, it is thought, by the volume of water on the road – reportedly she hydroplaned for 10-12 metres. Lots of bruising on left elbow and hip, sore ankle (pedal didn’t immediately release)and neck. She was evacuated to hospital by ambulance, where first an x-ray and then a CAT scan appeared to indicate no serious complications. We send Ali our best wishes for a speedy recovery.
6. Triathlon NT technical delegate, Phil Blumberg attended the Triathlon Australia Technical Committee meeting in Sydney at the weekend. Look forward to his report.
7. Vicki Woodrow was back in Darwin for a few days and participated in yesterday's short course event. Great to catch up with Vicki and also to see she hasn't lost that competitive spirit.
