5. If you are thinking of making a push for a spot for the Gold Coast and/or Perth, please read the documents carefully so that you are familiar with the process and events used.
6. We have had some feedback from a concerned motorist who works with one of our members and commutes on Sat mornings around the back of Robertson Barracks, where the group ride goes. He says that while some cyclists do display lights, a lot of them do not and if they have separated from the other riders it can put them in danger of not being seen. Perhaps it is timely to remind everyone out on the roads that as cyclists we have a responsibility to ensure motorists can see us. So please, check your lights (front and rear) and wear light, bright tops. Haven't got lights - get some or wait until daylight to ride - don't risk your life for the sake of half an hour.
7. ABC Half Marathon (Sunday 27 July 08 7am start) - race briefing is Saturday 26 July 08 at 4.30pm. Don't forget to collect your race number extra and course info as these aren't available on race morning.
8. The Darwin Surf Club annual Beach2Bridge will take place on Saturday 16 August 08.
9. A lot of events not conducted by Darwin Triathlon Club are mentioned in the E News as items of interest to members. While I make every effort to pass on correct information it is up to you to check directly with event organisers if you wish to participate in non DTC events.
10. Good luck to all those taking part in the Half Marathon on Sunday.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN...
... you open the freezer and have to move ice packs to reach the ice cream
... you know the names of more Hawaii Ironman winners than Chief Ministers
... you are in heavy training & all you can think about is dinner & bed that night .. and it's only 11am
Triathlon 3 x the fun
Cheers
Robyn
