Hi All,
With the
later start time we were able to enjoy a sleep in first and then rug up for
yesterday’s duathlon at Lee Point. Hoodies and beanies were dragged out
but by race start the conditions were just magic.
The format
change to run, bike, run is well received at this time of year. We
welcomed a number of new members participating with us for the first
time. Great to have you on board.
Our thanks
to RD Ron Griep for his work in setting up the course, much enjoyed by
all. Ronnie was out during the week measuring runs and the ride and
double checking. He also built an impressive run turn on the beach (with
shades of Trevor the rubbish warrior about it).
Thanks also
to all our wonderful volunteers who were on hand to help out - including the
police officer who assisted with traffic control on the bike course.

With a number of thefts happening over the weekend (including bikes), it’s a
good time to remind members to be security conscious. Lock up well (cars,
house, bikes etc) or lose it. Unfortunately it seems to happen more at
this time of year.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …
... you
empathize with the road kill
... you are
happy to discuss the connection between hydration and urine colour
... you
view bike crashes as an opportunity to upgrade components
Cheers,
Robyn
