OTHER NEWS:
1. DTC dominated the solo competitors at the Katherine Ultra Challenge (see their results above) and we were very well represented in the team categories including Dale Berk in the first across the line team, Saharan Kayakers.
2. Stef Puszka and Kate Robertson are hardy souls .. they did the KUC 3.2km swim for their teams without wetsuits.
3. There were two Gold medal times in the individuals at the Ultra, winner Derek Cross and evergreen Pete Brady. While this was Derek's first Ultra, veteran Pete was doing his 9th and they posted their gold medal times on what is acknowledged as the toughest course ever.
4. Pete was carrying an Achilles injury and hadn't run since the Arafura Half Marathon but still posted one of the fastest xcountry times. Pete is definitely Territory tough !!
5. Also among our members competing in KUC teams were Brian Gallagher, Tony Cox, Damien O'Brien, Lachlan Kelsall, Phil Brownscombe, Sara Martin, Ron Griep, Moira Wigley, Alex Moratis, Joe Mettam, Erin Mettam, Matt Redmond and Tim Ellison.
6. Speaking of teams, the triathletes got pipped by the runners at the BeepTest Challenge. Our team of Dave Croser, John Thyne, Phil Lewis, Lee Wilson, Mitch Ward, Jax Ward, Bella Hatty, Louise Jettner, Shaye Hatty, Joseph White and Karen Lewis were by far the fittest though and I hear there may have been some grounds for a protest given an experienced triathlete defected to the runners side !
7. Carole McGregor is back in Darwin on hols & popped into Nightcliff swim squad to catch up with familiar faces. Carole will be competing at IM NZ next year.
8. NT Swimming advise new afternoon registration and start times for Meet #2 of the Gatorade Open Water Series on Saturday 2 July.
Registrations open 3.10pm; Registrations close 3.40pm; Race Briefing 3.45pm' Race Start 4.00pm. Further information: www.nt.swimming.org.au
9. Good luck to Ali Fitch & Stu Fitch who are competing in Idaho this weekend.
10. Heard Chad Anderson is injured & not able to run at the moment but is using the time to do a lot of swimming. We wish him a speedy recovery.
11. Applications are closing soon for the Level 1 Coaching Course to be conducted 16 & 17 July 2011. Further information & online registration at www.triathlonnt.com.au
12. I envy those lucky people heading for Bali, it's the first time I've missed the event and it sounds like it will be another special experience this year. Stay safe over there, the roads are very busy.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN ...
... you contemplate how to pee on the bike when riding, and you are a girl.
... you have no problem loaning body glide to a triathlete you don’t even know
... you realize flatulence is pretty funny in a wetsuit and warm on cold swim days
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
