Hi All,
Our Open
Water Triathlon got underway last weekend in ideal conditions out at Casuarina
Beach.
We had Tori
Sherrock and David Hancock sharing the role of Race Director (first time for
both) and we thank them for volunteering and for their willingness to give back
to the club.
Dave and
Tori were supported by a great crew of helpers including the gang from Blue Cycles. On behalf of the competitors, a big
thank you to all those who helped out.
We hope
many more of you will follow their example and put up your hand to cover the
remaining positions on our calendar. Those events on the 2014/2015
calendar still requiring RD, registration or fruit/ice volunteers can be viewed
here.
For our
events to proceed we need those key positions filled so please email your preferred options asap so we can
fill in the gaps.

sign up next time it is offered by Triathlon NT. The more technical knowledge
we have the better and it is a great way to learn how the rules of our sport
are applied.
