OTHER NEWS:

1. Sports Performer of the Year (winner receives $50,000) nominees have been announced. I'm unashamedly recommending that you cast your vote for Craig Alexander (Ironman Triathlon) at http://www.performerawards.com.au/ . It would be great if we could get Crowie up after his two Hawaii Ironman (2008 & 2009) wins and I encourage you all to go online now and vote. It will only take 5 minutes and you could win a prize for doing so.

2. We have a new little tri baby - Congratulations to Rosie & Mark on the arrival (Friday afternoon) of baby Erin Anzin ! Erin weighed in at 8lb 1oz and is 47.5 cm long. She is a little cutie.

3. Spots for Ironman UK 70.3 filled in less than a week keeping up the trend of early field fill ups at M Dot events.

4. Noosa was a wet suit swim and a bit drizzly. Courtney Atkinson came down on the bike but still managed to gather himself together enough for another win.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN ...

... you skip dessert rather than pay a fortune for a light equipment alternative
... you have bargained with the family to let you race all over the country on the proviso you take them to Hawaii when you qualify
... you have booked your flights to Adelaide for 20-21 March (the Australian OD & SD Triathlon Championships)

Cheers,
Robyn

OTHER NEWS:

1. The Territory triathlon community was devastated to learn of the death last Friday of Tavis Johannsen (42). As well as being a passionate triathlete over all distances including Ironman, Tavis was also a past major sponsor of our NT Long Course Triathlon. With his latest business venture CycleZone Mooloolaba, Tavis and family were located on Queensland's Sunshine Coast. Our sincere sympathy to his wife Fiona, daughters Sophie and Lani, his family and many friends. Tavis' funeral will take place at Maroochydore tomorrow.

2. I caught up with a number of people in Perth including former members Barry Silverlock (who is still very speedy), Ashley Manicaros (who was a bike course volunteer) and Greg Kahl who came down to support the Darwin triathletes. Lost count of those who have raced up here and just love our events and were on for a chat.

3. There are still some uniform items to be picked up. Hope to get all outstanding items distributed this week.

4. Grant Preddy is enroute to Philippines. Grant will be competing in the White Rock Triathlon after a sightseeing tour.

5. We have a number of members lining up in the Noosa Triathlon this weekend including Brian Hannon, Kyle Gear and Angelika Hannon. Good luck to all. Go, go, go !

6. I'm pretty good at athlete tracking but your assistance is always welcome. Please let me know if you or someone you know is lining up soon so we can mention them in E News.


Cheers,
Robyn
