Hi All,
Our NT
Sprint Distance Triathlon Championships got underway in perfect conditions
yesterday and continued that way throughout. We welcomed athletes from
Victoria, Queensland, NSW and SA this year and they all enjoyed their Top End
tri experience.
We are
indebted to Korgan Hucent of Ray White Darwin for his continued sponsorship of
our event.
Korgan and
the brilliant crew from Ray White Darwin went all out to make it the very best
day possible for competitors. Thanks to Korgan for getting behind the
club and our members. Great news is that Ray White Darwin has already
committed to sponsoring the event for the 5th year next year.
We had many
wonderful volunteers in action yesterday. Race Director Phill Hatty
rallied the troops and made sure the day went smoothly. Shaye Hatty keep
onlookers up to date and entertained as she “manned” the mic. EO
Triathlon NT Anna Goat was busy behind the scenes. TO Adele Butler was
keeping an eye on proceedings and was extremely happy with behaviour on the
bike course. The Surf Life crew were on hand for water safety and backed up on
our water station, St John Ambulance were there to cover any first aid
requirements and we are always happy to say they weren’t needed! We had
people on corners, mount and dismount lines, water stations extras, post-race
refreshments and of course our timing crew were keep extremely busy with the
constant flow of competitors.
As always,
a collective effort by many, many volunteers meant a day of fantastic racing
and spectating. We thank you all for your contribution to the success of
the day.
