Photo: Kids in action at the junior Come & Try Day at Casuarina Pool
Hi All,
The Darwin Triathlon Club junior Come and Try Day was a huge success with kids enjoying a morning of varied activities (including a mini tri) at Casuarina Pool. It was a brilliant location to introduce the kids to our sport. A big thank you to John Thyne, Lee Wilson, Bec Thyne and all the volunteers who assisted with the morning.
It really does look like the juniors will be in for a fantastic season as well. The junior season kicks off on 2 October 2011 so get your kids signed up online now at www.triathlonnt.com.au
Our Family Membership option is great value ... mum, dad and two kids for $5 cheaper than the cost of two individual memberships. Those parents watching on the sidelines yesterday may like to consider a family membership package.

5. I fail to see the attraction of turfing empty bottles from cars. Be watchful out there, Saturday night's entertainment has left shattered glass all over the place.

Race 3 of our Sprint Series and our Club Champs next year, are selection points events for the Sprint (SD) & Olympic Distance (OD) teams respectively.
9. On that note our 2011 Finlay's NT Long Course Triathlon was a selection points event for the age group team for ITU World Long Distance Triathlon Championships in Spain in 2012.
11. If you are interested in any of the above teams, check out the selection criteria & closing dates for nominations at www.triathlon.org.au
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN ...
... waking up at 5am to train seems the natural thing to do
... you can relate to those YouTube videos taking the mickey out of triathletes
... you feel a sense of loss when you finally consign those favourite tri tops to the bin (after all, you wore them at your best race)
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
