OTHER NEWS:
1. Good luck
to our junior co-ordinator Mel
Lind who is stepping up in distance this weekend at Ironman
70.3 Port Macquarie.
2. A girl's weekend away coming up for Kylie Scholz
& Ali Fitch.
They are both on the start list for Ironman Australia. See
today's NT News.
3. Heading West this weekend is Dee Walsh who will be tackling
Ironman 70.3 Busselton. Good luck!
4. Another farewell. This time it's Jean Serini
who is leaving Darwin. He says, "It has been an immense
pleasure being part of the club in the Top End, even if it was for a little
period of time". All the best Jean - we will always remember
your first swim leg!!
5. Well done to our members who took part in the Anzac Day Swim
Challenge including timing guru Gary
Wall who got through 5.05km in a wettie and Stu Fitch who
is preparing for the 20km Lake Argyle swim & knocked over 8.4km.
6. Also noticed team Moiron came out of retirement for the swim.
Moria
Wigley and Ronnie
Griep are past Lake Argyle duo team champions.
7. Entry is open here
for our Kerran
Mudgway Memorial Club Championships taking place at Lake
Bennett Resort on Saturday 21 May 2016 4:30pm. This is our highlight
club event for the season and if you haven't yet had a crack at the Lake
Bennett course, put it on your must do list now. It's a great
afternoon / evening event and satisfaction level at crossing the finish
line is second to none. There are two distances - Championship 1km
swim, 30km bike, 8km run or a short option of 500m swim, 15km bike, 4km
run. We highly recommend booking a room or a camping spot at Lake Bennett
Resort (mention the club) and making a weekend
of it.
8. We still have a call out for a volunteer Race Director for our
Lake Bennett event. Let us know if you are interested in helping
out.
9. Bumped into Michael
Mondy this week. He is still out of action with
injuries from his bike/car bingle which put him out of Busso last year.
Very frustrating for him, he is itching to get back to training
and we hope that will be real soon.
10. Hearing Kathryn
Fuller is catching big barra this week.
11. We still have 1 x Men's club
tri suit Medium ($160), 1 x Men's club tri shorts
Medium ($77) for sale. Email if interested in purchasing.
PIC OF THE WEEK:
Cheers,
Robyn
