E NEWS 10 JUNE 2015
While others were shivering down south we experienced another long weekend
in paradise with the dry season weather showing off & reminding us
just why we love where we live!
On the tri front, we have a large group
of athletes and supporters heading for Ironman Cairns & Ironman 70.3
Cairns this weekend.
Our open water triathlon (21 June 15) is coming up soon, then we kick on to
Triathlon NT's NT Long Course Triathlon on 5 July 15 (this year back to
traditional distance and location).
Then it's time to relax at our our Annual Awards function on 11 July 15 -
this is subsidized for members and is a laid back casual family affair not
to be missed.
