Hi All,
Great
reports are coming in from our race at Lake Alexander yesterday. Our
thanks to volunteer Race Director Brett Verity for setting this event up for
us, much appreciated. Also appreciated are the efforts of our many
volunteers both on roster and those who stepped in on the day to help
out. Thank you on behalf of all the competitors.
Also good
to see were the number of new members participating in a club event for the
very first time. Welcome J we hope you enjoyed tri-ing with

2. We
already know our volunteers are very special people who give enormously to the
club. This includes many of our junior members. Yesterday Lachie Hatty
was spotted changing a tyre for one of our members prior to the event and thus
getting her out of a spot of flat tyre bother. Thanks Lachie.
3. A
dead heat in yesterday’s tri – Ali Croser and Shaye Hatty crossed together.
They will share age group points.
4.
You might recognise the counter in the photo of this Bicycle Network news story regarding Super
Tuesday in northern Australia – the reports with actual count numbers will be
available soon.
5.
Good tri news: last year the NT (442) had more Triathlon Australia members than
Tassie and SA and only two less than the ACT. NT’s membership increased
by 25% last year.
6. In
case you hadn’t yet worked it out, links in E News are now shown in red and
underlined.

While most of you were competing at Lake Alexander yesterday still others were
participating in a training weekend at Lake Bennett. Kona bound Kylie
Gaffel was one of them and she put in 100% and then some. Kylie’s Kona profile was recently posted by
witsup.com.

Graeme Parsons is extremely pleased with his efforts after knocking over his
first ever 100k ride over the weekend. Well done GP.
9. No
news yet on date for Ironman 70.3 Singapore. Suggest the date will move
out from March if/when announced.

TA’s coach director Wayne Goldsmith has been in town. Wayne did some
sessions for NT Swimming and NT Athletics while he was here.

Monica Stewart won the recently completed 1.2km Gatorade open water swim
series. Well done Mon. Good prep for her Auckland sprint distance
campaign.

Unfortunately Matt King has had to withdraw from the sprint team due to injury.
We wish him a speedy recovery. Did we miss anyone?

It’s great to listen to tri talk these days. We have members targeting
events all over Australia and around the world. To help us keep track of
who is doing what, where & when, please drop us a line at E News here if you or someone you know competing
away.

Interesting Facebook post just up by Ironman Asia Pacific: “Thinking
about racing IRONMAN 70.3 in Asia Pacific? BIG Announcement to be made
tomorrow...things about to get even more exciting!”
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …
… you have
a pile of race numbers gathering dust but can’t bring yourself to throw them
out
… you
happily pay $9 for a pair of elastic laces
… you know
the location of every accessible tap & bubbler within a 15km radius of your
home
Safe training,
Cheers,
Robyn
