Hi All,
With the
drop in temperature there was a mad scramble to drag out the jeans and jackets
in time for our Open Water Triathlon (and that was just the volunteers and
spectators)!
We need not
have worried, by race start conditions (including that of the water) were
absolutely perfect.
Our thanks
to RD Glen Scholz for setting up this event for us. Thanks also to our
other wonderful volunteers, again we are extremely grateful to have people like
you at each of our events.
That was
our last tri format event for a little while as we now have our annual Duathlon
Series coming up. The runners among us are looking forward to that!

painful tumble yesterday. We wish Jack a speedy recovery.

Glen Scholz gave a thorough race brief yesterday and swim & run course maps
were up on our Facebook page but that didn’t stop a few
competitors becoming creative with the course. The brain gym workout was
tougher for some J.

Wow, two weeks until Ironman Cairns. By my quick reckoning and a
cursory glance of the competitor list, we have no fewer than seventeen members
doing the full ironman event.
5. In
Ironman 70.3 Cairns we have almost as many, with twelve known from our club.
6. If
you are competing at either event, we would appreciate a quick email here so we can check you are on our
list.

Steve Goat was busy testing the club’s new timing system on a few guinea pigs
at yesterday’s event. Our sincere thanks to SBJV for their contribution to this
new equipment.

Due to increased bacteria levels, Lake Alexander is closed to swimming until further
notice. Darwin City Council is going to give it a good flush out.
Coach Daryl Stanley advises there is no Monday open water swim squad at
Lake Alexander until further notice.
