Note:
1. You may have seen some of the recent publicity regarding the continued closure of Lake Alexander. Further test results are due back this week, but it's looking more and more likely that Arafura Games will need to be a run, bike, run format. The final call won't be made until the last possible moment .. test results were on the way down but unfortunately we got that huge downpour early last week.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN...
....the majority of your laundry is dry in an hour
... you try and convince your partner that it is better for you to spend money on tri stuff than in the pub, but then realise if you spent the same money that you spend in the bike shop, in the pub, your liver would have packed up
... you can dodge those mental speed bumps
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
