Robyn's E News 23 May 2012


Hi All,

Many of you feeling the dry season chill will be happy that we ditch the swim on Sunday as we launch into the Duathlon season.  The run, bike, run duathlon format is an awesome workout and the Lee Point course is one that provides its own challenges.  For our new members, transition is located at the very end of Lee Point Road (past the caravan park and down the hill).

Our start time is 7.30am so you also have an extra half hour snuggle time, but do make sure you are out at Lee Point early enough to be set up.  Please note registration closes at 7.15am sharp. 

Urgent:  We need a couple of volunteers to marshal some key corners on Sunday.  If you can assist please email here and include your best contact number.

RESULTS:

1.  ITU Cross World Triathlon Championships, Alabama, 1.5km swim, 31km MTB, 10km cc run

Male:  Conrad Stolz 2.12.58  Female:  Lesley Paterson 2.24.39

2.  Yes, there were indeed some DQ’s of people who didn’t stop for red lights.

3.  Rumour is Emma Snowsill not starting in Madrid.  Seems her Olympic campaign may be over.

4.  Macca is talking up a Macca/Armstrong duel.  Now I’d love to see that.

5.  Only eight sleeps to go before our Olympic team will be announced.

6.  Everyone has been pouring over the race splits from Sunday.  A number of PB’s were recorded so there are some very happy athletes. 

7.  Heads up that Race 2 of our Duathlon series scheduled for Hidden Valley clashes with the V8s.  We want to keep the venue, but there will be a date change.  Confirmation will be up on our website asap.  

8.  Entry for 2013 Ironman Australia opens today here.

9.  Oops I may be eating humble pie after my Telstra rant.  They have bent over backwards to check out my complaint but appears it may not be at their end after all.   Investigations ongoing.

Safe training,
Cheers,
Robyn
