E NEWS 1 March 17
It has been awhile since our last E News, so hope you have been keeping up
to date via Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!
A big welcome (and in some cases welcome back) to all our new members.
Well done to those members who have participated in events far and wide
over the last month or so. We are a well travelled lot, and the
variety of events we head off to is ever increasing. Don't forget we
love to give our members a shout out so let us know what event you are
doing (preferably beforehand).
It's time!
Our annual Sprint & Womens Series (usually referred to as Sprint
Series) kicks off this weekend. This very popular three event series
is conducted over 750m swim, 26km bike, 5km run distance.
We also have a short option and teams categories for both distances
available at Race #1 and #2.
And if you aren't able to team up you can also skip any leg - just let us
know at registration so a note can be made.
So there is something for everyone - see you all this Sunday.

Notes:
1. Please note we have increased entry fee for the Sprint Series
events (Individual Early bird $20, Late Entry $30) to help cover the
costs of traffic control (approx $2000 per event) so it is important to register
early to avoid missing early bird cutoff.
2. This is a non drafting event. What does that mean?
Watch Drafting
Explained
3. If for some reason you do not finish event, please inform RD that
you have dnf'd. It makes the job of the results team so much easier if
those details are available.
