E NEWS - 9 SEPT 2015
The humidity is increasing & the pool lanes are getting busier, which
can only mean one thing - good bye Dry Season, hello Build Up & beware Mango
Madness!
In tri club land we are excited to bring you our three event Super Sprint
Series which kicks off this weekend. A fourth event will also be held
with start times to be based on handicaps calculated on times posted during
the series.
You (our members) asked for it, so don't miss out, get your online entries
in for all three or just selected event dates here.
Important:
We are still seeking volunteer RD's for each of the events 13 Sept,
27 Sept, 11 Oct. Volunteering as RD earns maximum points, so we
encourage you to consider giving up just one race to benefit the club.
Anyone who hasn't yet been RD will be mentored through the process, so
don't be shy. If you are willing to help out please email darwintriclub@gmail.com
now.
