Hi All,
Great news ! We have been successful in obtaining permission to use the Waterfront Lagoon for our teams event on Sunday (see info below).
A couple of things we wish to highlight - parking meters in the area apply on Sunday & they are patrolled, so no grizzling if you park there, go overtime & get booked. The other is that this is our first morning start at this venue. With Lake A out of action, we need to build a great relationship so we will be welcomed back. With this in mind, we ask members to avoid making any unnecessary noise so that resident's get to enjoy their Sunday sleep in & no complaints are lodged about the event.

Waterfront Lagoon
Teams Event

Event status: CLUB (must be a member to participate)
250m swim, 6km bike, 1.5km run x 3
Roster:
Race Director: John Thyne
Registration: Korgan Hucent / Damien Brown
Timekeepers: Bronwyn Rossingh / Stef Puszka
Fruit / Ice: Louise Ogden
Note:
1. Swim will be two laps in the area inside the net. (So no risk of swimming with the big fish)
2. Ride two laps on Kitchener Road and the Deck Chair cinema road.
3. Run one lap similar to the splash and dash swim.
4. Kitchener Road is a little rough in places and has some loose surface. Competitors should consider using their training wheels and mountain bikes may even be a good option. Remember this is a fun novelty race so speed is not everything. There are also three very sharp speed humps on this course which will need to be ridden over with care.
5. Team are to be made up of three people and the race will be in a relay format. A competitor can only do one leg at a time.
6. Teams are encouraged to be mixed. Team themes also encouraged.
7. Parking Warning: Parking is metered (2 hours) in the Waterfront area between 7am-10pm and that applies to Sunday as well. The multi story car park is free for the first 2 hours but may not open until 7am. More info on parking: http://www.waterfront.nt.gov.au/darwin-waterfront-precinct/parking/
8. This is a residential area so members are asked not to make too much noise before and during the race (we want to be allowed back).

1. Date for Darwin Triathlon Club Annual General Meeting has been set for Sunday 28 August 2011.

3. Also needing a break is our super equipment man Simon who has also been in that position for a number of years. If you can assist with looking after the club equipment, trailer & shed we would love to hear from you.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN ...
... you come home from a long run with chaffing & the responsible shorts go straight in the bin instead of the washing machine
... you throw out those see through nicks before they are commented on by following riders (hint - if you hold them up to the light and you can see through them ... so can everyone else)
... you love doing a long ride on your own for the quality reflection and thinking time it provides
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
