Hi All,
The wet has
officially arrived and I’m guessing some of you even dragged out the old bike
this morning for puddle dodging.
In the wet
season spirit we kick off our annual aquathlon series with race #1 on Saturday
evening - Splash N Dash - at the popular Waterfront location.
Entry is
not closing until 8pm on Friday but to assist
organising volunteers why not get your entry in here now.
Don’t
worry, tri season is not yet over for 2014 as we have also added in an extra
event - a 300m swim/13km bike/3km run format at Lake Alexander on the 23rd
Nov. There are still volunteers required for this and also some of our other
events so we again encourage you to have a look at the calendar
and email if you can fill a vacant spot.

2. On
a sad note, the triathlon community is in mourning following the death of Jackie Fairweather (nee Gallagher) a true
champion of our sport.
3. Jackie
visited Darwin in 2002 providing a weekend of junior clinics and Q & A
sessions which inspired our then juniors and parents alike.
4.
The national triathlon calendar is jam packed and this weekend will see members
competing across the country. In WA, Emily Heames, Shellie Ratahi, Graeme
Parsons and Alex Murdock will be among those lining up at IM 70.3 Mandurah;
Michelle Gailey is on the start list for Challenge Forster in NSW and Stef
Puszka, Sarah Collins and Tim Green are on the list for Murray Man Triathlon in
SA. Good luck to all members racing at home and away.
5.
Our annual pointscore is up to date. Check it here
if you haven’t already done so. Please email if you believe a correction
needs to be made, we appreciate your help to kept our records correct.
6.
Don’t forget to give us an email heads up if you (or someone you know) are
racing away.
7. As
well as helping out at our events, the team at Blue
Cycles NT just got a whole lot busier with the opening of a
third store, this time at Palmerston.
Cheers,
Robyn
