Hi All,
Our Presentation Night Dinner was a sell out, food was delicious & the Trailer Boat Club setting was enjoyed by all. A huge thank you to Belinda Townend and Kate Richardson for their behind the scenes efforts to make our social event of the year so enjoyable. The girls also starred on the dance floor !
Thanks also to the following sponsors who contributed to our prize draws: CycleZone; Fernwood; Amart All Sports; NT Elite Cycles; Sportsco (Mitchell Centre) & Spokes NT.
Major prize (HR monitor watch from CycleZone) was won by Charlie Birk
We encourage you to support those businesses who support us.
The Open Water Triathlon yesterday was well attended by both competitors and supporters. Thanks to RD Ron Griep for his efforts to put this Father's Day event together for us. It's one many look forward to and obviously a number of Dad's got a special leave pass to attend. Ron was assisted by a fantastic band of volunteers and our thanks go to them as well as without this valued help, our event could not have gone ahead.
Special mention to Lisa Svara, who was paddling past and assisted with water safety, much appreciated Lisa !

OTHER NEWS:
1. Renae McGarvie did miss out on competing in the World Police & Fire Games Triathlon. It was scheduled for the day Hurricane Irene hit New York. Renae was so very disappointed but apparently all is not lost ... she survived a bike ride in NYC peak hour traffic and has entered into the 27th annual one and only duathlon in Central park. Also her training for the Games wasn't wasted as she managed to enter indoor rowing at last minute too in the mixed senior doubles and missed out on a bronze medal by only 1 sec!!
2. Swimming NT has announced the Leah Cullen Relay Challenge will be held this year at Casuarina Pool, 4pm, Saturday 8 October 2011. They are looking for entries in the "Club 10km" details:
Clubs/Organisations may nominate more than one team, however the total maximum number of teams competing is 16. Priority will be given to the first team nominated from each Club/Organisation, and a minimum of 3 lanes (ie. 6 teams) will be dedicated to the SNTI Club 10km event – subsequent teams will only be accepted if space permits. Acceptance of subsequent teams will be on a first‐come first‐served basis until the maximum of 16 teams is reached. Club/Organisations will be notified and entry fee will be refunded if a subsequent nominated team is not accepted into the event.
If you want to put a tri team together, entry details and further information see www.nt.swimming.org.au
3. Our adventure racing lovers might like to check out the Lake Argyle Adventure Race, Sun 2 October 2011. There is $1000 prizemoney for 1st M & F. Further details: www.karunjie.net.au.
4. Blue Watt & Grant Preddy head for Las Vegas this week for Ironman 70.3 World Championships and Stu Fitch is Kona bound to acclimatise for the big one .. Ironman World Championships ... good luck guys.
5. We hear Blue has been getting some training tips from the Brownlee brothers. He also got himself a Dag of the Year nomination on Friday night for his daggy, baggy budgie smugglers at the Teams Event.
6. James Geddes got two nominations ... one in the Broken Spoke Award for his face plant (also at the Teams Event) & one in the Dag of the Year, given that the said face plant happened while wearing fairy wings.
7. Who was it that drove off and left one of their race wheels yesterday? Missed running over it by only centimetres ! Wheel has been returned owner safely.
8. Many of you will remember our Most Improved Trophies ... they ran out of space last year and the club has purchased new trophies. The history hasn't been lost though as it is included on the new version.
9. A couple of our trophies have disappeared, if you know that someone has one, please encourage them to return it. We are particularly interested to find the whereabouts of the NT Aquathlon trophies and an NT Olympic Distance Trophy.
10. On trophies, if you are lucky enough to win one (or more) please care for it. If you are leaving town please return trophy prior to going away. Also if you really don't want a trophy cluttering up your space, we are more than happy to store it for you. Some people like to be photographed with it and then hand back, whatever suits.
11. Photos from our Presentation Night are up on the club's Facebook page. Not on FB? They will be on our Flickr page soon.
12. Rumour has it that it rained in a few spots on Saturday morning .. meaning that humidity is building up ... as if we hadn't noticed !
13. A few of our members got up close and personal with the little croc that was found in Parap Pool the other morning. Mmmm, think they were hoping the the elastic band around its jaws held.
14. Ironman 70.3 Canberra is now sold out. You can be still be waitlisted for a spot, organisers will email if a withdrawal occurs & you are next on the list.
15. Keep an eye out for Clare's unique bamboo bike. It was stolen yesterday afternoon.
16. Enough for today .... if you have been through this lengthy read at work your boss is probably considering your future !
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN ...
... people start asking you when you are going to shave down
... you look forward to your long run
... you know the names of more Hawaii Ironman winners than Australian Prime Ministers
Safe Training,
Cheers,
Robyn
