Hi All,
The pressure was on from the word go at Race 2 yesterday. First up, there was no swim due to the continued closure of Lake Alex so the event started with a slick 2.8km run. The competitors then had to negotiate Dick Ward Drive x 2 in very blustery conditions, and follow that with the final 5km run. The competition was on from the start !
Our thanks to RD Brian Gallagher for his efforts. Brian is an experienced RD with many years of volunteer service to the club and he is meticulous in his preparations to ensure your safety and fairness. Thanks also to the great mob of volunteers who assisted on the day. Much appreciated.

OTHER NEWS:
1. Rob Brooks is well connected these days and forwarded a correction regarding the mention of two punctures for Mirinda Carfrae
at IM NZ in the last E News. Rob says it was only one and how does he know this?? He asked her while chatting at the presentation dinner. The reason she lost so much time was the mechanics took ages to get to her to fix it. Thanks Rob.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN ...
... you think of two or three races as being a big year (those ironpersons can relate to this one)
... you look up the yellow pages in each place you visit to see if they have any bike shops catering for triathletes
... you don't think it is unusual to own half a dozen pairs of bathers
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
