Hi All,
We gave you all a head’s up in E News last Wednesday and we have indeed had to close off entry for Sunday’s event.
If you know that you are not participating this Sunday for some reason, please email here so your spot can be offered to someone else.
To be placed on waitlist for individual entry for Ray White Darwin NT Sprint Championships, please email here. This will be subject to withdrawals and on a first come basis.
We also urgently need some extra volunteers for Sunday see below if you can help out.
With record numbers participating in the sport, early closure will probably happen more often. If you haven’t yet entered the Kerran Mudgway Memorial Club Championships (Lake Bennett, 4.30pm, 14 April) online, suggest you do so now here to avoid disappointment as all indications are that it will also close early as well.

OTHER NEWS:
1. The Red Cross Migration Support team is currently supporting a growing number of asylum seeker clients who have been released from detention on Bridging Visa E. This visa provides work permissions, but currently does not have eligibility for Centrelink, Medicare, or an NT Driver’s License.
In order to assist these clients to be able to transport themselves to work in an affordable way, they would really like to be able to provide bicycles to those who need/would like them! This would also provide recreational and physical/mental wellbeing benefits through increased physical activity and greater independence. Public transport without a concession card is extremely costly.
So, they are wondering… does anyone have used bicycles lying around that they would like to donate? They will happily come and pick them up from wherever they may be, or you can drop them at Larrakeyah office. If you can help, please contact Natasha by email
2. Vincent Gilly participated at Mooloolaba Triathlon yesterday and sends greetings to all his Darwin friends.
3. As well as finishing his first Ironman yesterday Jason Jones completed his first marathon as well ....... he says next time he won't do 180k warm up on the bike!
4. It was an exciting finish to the ITU World Cup race in Mooloolaba on Saturday with three of the guys involved in a sprint finish for the win.
5. The Australian Sports Commission women in sport grants are now open. Closing date 27 April. Further information here
6. Dragon flies have been sighted !
ANOTHER TRI RULE EXPLAINED:
Q: No outside assistance is permitted at our triathlon events. What is outside assistance?
A: Any attempt by an unauthorised or unofficial source to help or to stabilise a competitor. Translation: you need to do it all by yourself. Outside assistance provides an advantage for one competitor over others so is not permitted. Examples: A parent/partner/friend can’t take your goggles & cap at the end of the swim or help you change a flat tyre on the bike leg or have a water bottle on the run course for you.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …
… no one believes you when you say “never again”
Safe training,
Cheers,
Robyn
