Hi All,
It was an
amazing morning for a duathlon last Sunday with everyone appreciating the
fantastic dry season conditions.
Competition
was strong across the age groups and overall. Lots of good form on show
ahead of our bigger events coming up.
A big thank
you to Race Director Ronnie Griep who was out bright early preparing the course
for us and overseeing the event. Thanks a bunch to all our other
wonderful volunteers for your contribution – we salute you!
This Sunday
we head to Lake Alexander for Triathlon NT’s 2015 NT Olympic Distance
Triathlon. Always an exciting event it’s one not to be missed.
Entry
closes midnight Friday but don’t leave until the last minute as Friday is a
busy credit card usage day and lines can go down (just ask our members who had
to try multiple times to enter the duathlon when that happened).
The Olympic
distance also builds in nicely to the NT Long Course Triathlon at Lake Bennett
(5 July) as well as all those other dry season sporting events our members love
to do!

Not up for the distance? We suggest you grab a fit friend and form a
team. Non club members are able to participate in this event so it’s an
ideal opportunity to have fun with your mates.
2. Cycle

hand for mechanical assistance & are also contributing lucky draw
prizes.
OTHER:

recovery wishes your way!
3.
Ditto to Jim Eadie after a recent bike crash left him nursing broken ribs.
4. It’s getting close to his ride date of 20 June 2015, and you
may like to help junior member Dominic Sloane reach his Dominic's Kool kids ride fundraising goal by donating here. You
can also join him if you wish.
5. Simon Watts heading up the Darwin to Katherine Challenge (27-29 June) raising funds for Total Recreation. There are
still a couple of spots left for the ride.
6. Ironman 70.3 World Championships will
be in the US in 2017 (with three cities bidding) but the interesting
announcement is that it will be a two day event. Female pros and agers
will go one day and male pros and agers the next.
7. We know some occasionally have to
rack, race and rock off quickly, but many hands and all that, we encourage you
all to continue to just jump in or ask what needs to be done at our
events. Especially afterwards, we all like to get home (or to the coffee
shop) as quick as possible.
8. Good luck to all our members at NT
Olympic Distance this weekend.
Cheers,
Robyn
