Hi All,
Have you started your Christmas go faster wish list yet? I'm motivated to ask Santa for a whole new package, not because I really need it but because I'd like to become a little more colour coordinated. The only way you can do that is to get the bike, shoes, helmet, trisuit etc all at once.
Over the top? Mmm, that's what I thought. Maybe I'll hang off for a bit.
But seriously, if you are looking for gift ideas and aren't yet a member or want to encourage someone to take up triathlon ... why not give the gift of club membership. At $110 until 30 June it's almost a stocking filler (you don't get many coffees or bottles of wine for that). Joining is an easy online process at https://www.securedvirtualnet.com/Sma/Triath/
Urgent .... we need a timekeeper for Friday evening. Please email if you can assist.

4. Quickest retirement in history perhaps: "Recently on twitter Haile Gebrselassie announced his unretirement, "Running is in my blood and I decided to continue competing. My announcement in New York was my first reaction after a disappointing race. When my knee is better again I will start focusing on my next race."
5. Those heading for Asia Pacific Ironman 70.3 Phuket next month are training the house down .. a quick look at the start list shows Kathy McKay, Jamie Tomlinson, Tim Green, Korgan Hucent, Vincent Gilly, Daryl Stanley, Rob Brooks, Sue Parora, Nic Hoey, Shaye Hatty, David Croser, Grant Preddy, Phil Blumberg and myself will be among the starters.
6. Steve Goat is looking forward to tapering prior to doing Ironman Western Australia (anyone else going from here?).
7. Tim Hardiman is pounding the pavement in preparation for 60km Kepler run in NZ.
8. We also have a few heading down for the Canberra Half Ironman including Debbie Geertshuis, Angelika Hannon, Jodie McLeod, Jo Duncan, & Grant Preddy.

10. Racing away? Please let me know where and when to ensure your results get a mention in E News. I track fairly well but can't be across all events all of the time so appreciate your assistance here.
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
