OTHER NEWS:
1.
John Arrigo and Corinne Fabian got a firsthand taste the weather can have on
our sport. Even they would spare a thought for those competing in Ironman 70.3
Switzerland. It had also been changed to a duathlon and the whole field
of more than 2,300 athletes was out on the bike course when the race had to be
cancelled for safety reasons after a landslide. Thankfully no one was hurt.
2.
John Arrigo was the toast of the Australian team after posting the fastest Oz male
time of the day at Belfort, France.
3.
Lake Alexander has reopened for swimming.
4.
Tickets for our annual Presentation Night Dinner (Nightcliff Sports Club,
6.30pm Saturday 10 August 2013) are now on sale here.
5.
Please forward any nominations for Dag of the Year and/or Broken Spoke (crash)
by email here. These awards are among those
handed out at our Presentation Night Dinner. All sources are confidential
so if you have witnessed a daggy deed or a bike crash by one of our members in
2012/2013 feel free to nominate them now.
6. We
have a large contingent of members heading for Ironman Cairns including Grant
Preddy, Phil Blumberg, Tom O’Neil, Stef Puszka, Damien Staunton, Hadyn Whitty,
Simon Casey. Sinon Cooney,Pieter Jordaan,
Caroline
Elliott, Kent Murray, Steve Goat, Luke Hansen, Marcus Lisle, Rowan Beggs-French
and Michelle Gailey. A couple of recent withdrawals proved how hard it is
to make the start line. Good luck to all, may the weather gods be kind on
race day.
7.
Almost as many are going over for IM 70.3 Cairns including Derek Cross, Renee
de Jong, Jo Ellis, Kerry Grace, Justin Tranter, Tori Sherrock, David Glass, Joy
Glass, Billy Lynch, Julia Gaudin, Nicola Hoey and Naomi Milne. Good luck
to the “halfers” also.
8.
Our deepest sympathy to Raz de Jongh on the recent loss of her mother.
9. If you
have family, friends or workmates who wish to “tri”, point them in the
direction of the SBJF Corporate Triathlon
scheduled for Saturday 29 June 2013. It’s a doable individual or team
effort of 300m swim, 10km ride, 3km run and all funds raised go to Royal Flying
Doctor Service. Anyone can enter. More info and how to enter here.
