Hi All,
We just had another action packed weekend in perfect weather.
Lots of training for Finlay's NT Long Course Triathlon (21 August 2011) is happening now with great enthusiasm & many of our members are targetting this upcoming major event on our calendar. Also appears to be a few teams being formed and with the longer 2km swim, 60km bike & 16km run format, being in a team is the next best thing if you aren't yet up to that distance.
We are still after a couple of willing volunteers to assist with organising our annual Presentation Night Dinner. Any takers??

OTHER NEWS:
1. Michelle Mitchell backed up after 2nd in Challenge Cairns earlier this month, with an overall win in the Bali International Triathlon. She was 4 mins ahead of the first male competitor. Kate Robertson was 3rd female overall and Shaye Hatty was 4th. Way to go Territory gals !
2. Congratulations to Claire Goldsmith & Liam Johnson who were married in Darwin over the weekend.
3. Our juniors did well over the weekend with Lara Whitehouse 1st Female in the 2.1km Fannie Bay Swim, Michael Collins 1st Male in the 1.2km Fannie Bay Swim and Bella Hatty 2nd in the 5km Bali Tri Run.
4. A warning to cyclists to be alert when cycling around the Mango loop. One of our members was chased and bitten by a blue heeler out that way over the weekend and needed tetanus injection and antibiotics. She is in no doubt she would have been ripped apart if she had come off her bike.
5. For information on reporting dog attacks see http://www.darwin.nt.gov.au/live/animals-and-pets/dogs/dog-attacks
6. While on reporting problems, in the NT some cyclepaths are maintained by the local Council and others by the Department of Planning and Infrastructure. If you notice a problem with the road/path you are riding on, the vegetation, or anything else, go to the site below to report it. http://www.nt.gov.au/transport/ntroads/faults/cyclepaths/index.shtml Your report will be passed on to the correct area. Remember, hazards etc can't be fixed if no one knows about them.
7. Now Leigh Milne has the Bali Tri out of the way, he and Nicole will also be tying the knot (in Bali). Enjoy.
8. Watch this space for more info on 2011 Fernwood All Girls Tri.
9. I've joined those coughing and spluttering with the dreaded lurgy. It's that time of year.
10. Yay go the mature folk - Pro Tom Evans (CAN), at 42 has claimed the final podium position at Ironman Coeur d'Alene, but not before taking a ton of time to celebrate his race with his wife & kids before entering the finishing chute. His finish time was still 8:49:54.
11. And speaking of mature folk, Stu Fitch is currently on the run and in 2nd place in M55-59 of the same event. Appears Stu has snuck back through the field after being 6th off the bike (athlete tracker has been known to throw up some odd readings so keep that in mind). Go Stu.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN...
... you own at least ten swim suits, five pair of goggles, a dozen bathing caps, swim fins, a pullbuoy and at least a wet suit or speed suit if not both.
... you have a plan “A”, plan “B”’, and a “try not to die” race plan
... you can’t remember the last time you slept in past 6 am on a Saturday
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
