Hi All,
Happy New
Year to you all. We hope you had a relaxing festive season
and are now looking forward to kicking off your triathlon New Year with Race 1
of our Aquathlon Series on Saturday.
We had (and
still have) members all over the globe, and a number have participated in a
variety of events. Well done all, great to see such enthusiasm.
Don’t forget to send us a quick email of your results, or at least alert us to
what/where you are competing.
Word is
that many of you have signed up for a variety of events in 2013 including
Ironman Cairns, Ironman 70.3 Cairns & Busso, Ironman Melbourne and Geelong
(long course & Olympic) as well as Australian Sprint & OD Champs and
various overseas events.
We also
have a full calendar of club events listed for those who prefer to stick closer
to home. All adds up to another fantastic year of triathlon.

Please check here
to see if you are on our 2012/2013 roster.
3. If
you can assist by filling any of those positions which still require filling we
would love to hear from you.

3.
Once again we welcome a number of new members to our club. If you
are doing your first event with us on Saturday evening, don’t be shy … we are a
friendly bunch. Need help, just ask and our members will be happy to give
you a heads up on how things work.
4.
Our club events are so successful due to the fantastic volunteer culture we
have within our ranks. Many hands certainly make light work. You
can assist on Saturday evening by noting where transition is located and
keeping your gear in the designated area; by completing body marking (clear
block print numbers go down arms on both sides) on a few people before handing
the pen to someone else; by not distracting the timekeepers (they have a job to
do and any interruptions can mean results may not be recorded) or something as
simple as putting rubbish in bins provided and/or helping to collect witch’s
hats. You contribution, however small, will be greatly appreciated.
5.
Good luck to Monica Stewart who is competing in Melbourne this weekend.
Cheers,
Robyn
