E News 11 December 2014

Hi All,

Lots of tri happening over the past couple of weeks with members competing around the country and overseas as well as taking part in our Christmas Splash n Dash on Saturday evening. 

I’m hearing the numbers were on the small side but that enthusiastic fun was had by all.  Once again the combined relay appears to have left the adults gasping at the intensity! It was a shame Nightcliff Pool wasn’t available for use this year but I’m sure we will be back to our traditional location next Christmas!

A big thank you to Rob Weatherald for organising this session (again) and our thanks also to all those who chipped in to help on the day.  Blue Cycles NT were also present supporting our event – Thank you!
