Hi All,
31 August and it looks like our dry season is ending bang on schedule. Record cold is the word, and those of us who have swum during the dry can verify that ... there were definitely some nippy mornings. These past few days have seen a few air cons kick into life again, and it's back to sweating our way through training.
Ticket sales for our Presentation Nite Dinner on Friday have now closed. Judging by numbers it's going to be another fantastic night. The theme of Roaring 20s & Gangster is encouraged.

2. There were a large number of Dag of the Year nominations for 2010/2011 ... will you get a mention at our dinner on Friday?
3. On Dag of the Year ... already people are doing daggy deeds in 2011/2012. Don't forget to note them down and email to darwintriclub89@bigpond.com where they will be held on file to be dragged out and dusted off this time next year ! Never fear, the names of the daggy deed dobbers are suppressed.
4. Chad Anderson heads interstate this weekend to pursue his pro triathlon career. We wish Chad all the best with his endeavours. He has been active in promoting our sport & mentoring juniors and his contribution is appreciated.
5. Renae McGarvie was heading to New York for the World Police & Fire Games to take part in the triathlon. Obviously there have been huge disruptions due to Hurricane Irene and indications from the event website are that triathlon was one of the sports cancelled. How disappointing if that's the case.
6. Not yet renewed your membership ... go to www.triathlonnt.com.au
7. There have been a number of queries about when your magazine subscription starts if you pay as part of your membership. It can appear to take some time as it depends on date paid to distribution dates. It will happen though.
8. As well as my trusty point and click, we also had David Hancock snapping great shots at Fernwood All Girls Tri. David's photos (including finish line images) can be viewed at http://gallerytwosix.com/component/content/article/39-four-boxes/51-new-images-galleries.html . Thanks to David for providing participants with these momentos of their achievement.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN...
... your wife doesn't bat an eyelid when she finds her pink razor in the glove compartment of the car on the way to the Long Course - she knows your legs need a shave before you race
... you are jealous your partner can ride to work, and you are left to take the car
... you have checked out the new bike path extension out to Howard Springs
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
