Hi All,
Good to have the weather on the improve (finally) with more and more dry patches happening.
Watch shortly for a club uniform order. Hoping this time to have IDS tops (M & F) available (no sleeves, wide shoulder, pockets) and fatigue pants and have made enquiries about chlorine resist budgie smugglers for the guys as well. Currently awaiting pricing.
Because all the effort is voluntary, uniform orders work on a payment with order system and require minimum numbers to proceed. Many of you ask why we don't just have items in stock ... our experience over many years tells us that the lycra does not last indefinitely in our climate and unsold stock can deteriorate .. a cost the club does not wish to carry. So when the order goes out, don't miss out .. get in quick.

OTHER NEWS:
1. From www.mirror.co.uk A man of 90 has completed a triathlon – and said he “enjoyed every minute of it”. Arthur Gilbert completed the event in Burnham-On-Sea, Somerset, for a 20th time. He did a 250m swim, a six-mile bike ride and a 1.5-mile run in one hour, 20 minutes and nine seconds. His granddaughter Natalie said: “Arthur’s a true legend in the family. What he does is almost unbelievable – he is a true inspiration.”
2. Media Hound: Wrap from Lake Bennett in the NT News and also see attached pdf.
3. Last week NT cycling coaches Tim Ellison and Bec Thyne took 15 junior cyclists, inc two junior triathletes Chynna Godfrey & Joel Kay, MTB'ers and BMX'ers to Alice springs to combine with 22 Alice juniors for a track cycling development camp before the NT track championships held on Friday night and Saturday. They had a fantastic coach from Melbourne, Cam McFarlane, running the camp with them. The kids learned important bike skills, race construction skills and off the bike skills. The ability level ranged from beginner to experienced and saw an improvement in 100% of the kids from timed runs on day 1 to timed races on the Saturday. The camp will be run at a similar time next year and is suitable for all juniors interested in bike riding from U/15 upwards. The huge development and confidence progression seen in many of the kids is indicative of the benefits a few days of intensive practice can have. That said, the development camps are not just about cycling, they are about gaining living away from home skills, learning to interact with different people and becoming independent. Further info on future junior cycling camps, weekly training sessions, etc contact Tim (0437 602 346) or Bec (0408 878 689) direct.
4. Also at the Track cycling, Minister for Sport Karl Hampton presented Tim with the NT's Cycling Australia Volunteer of the Year award. Congrats Tim.
5. Margaret Black missed the Sydney Triathlon due to flu. We wish Margaret a speedy recovery.
6. Reminder Fannie Bay Swim date is 26 June 2011 - around 10am start.
7. A number of STTA Presidents & the president of TA competed in the Sydney Triathlon. I hear Triathlon NT's Dave McLeod narrowly missed having the fastest time, just pipped by WA president !
8. Also heard that our club treasurer Jane Marie Kerslake did a great impersonation of Superman when she fell on the run in Sydney.
9. Entry for the Laguna Phuket Triathlon (weekend prior to the 70.3) is sold out.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN ...
... you are cycling in Canberra (4-15 degrees) in long sleeves, thermals, jacket, beanie and are cold while others ride by in shorts
... you know the dimensions of a Qantas bike box
... you don't care where, when, or what format - if the club puts on the event you will be there
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
