E NEWS 6 JULY 2016
Dry season
mornings are now perfect for training, pool temperatures are at refreshing
rather than sweaty warm, spectacular sunrise and sunsets are happening
& there's a zillion things on - who would want to live anywhere else
than Darwin?
Topping the list of "things to do" this weekend is Triathlon NT's NT Long
Course Triathlon C'ships on Sunday at beautiful
Lake Bennett Resort. If you are heading down for the weekend
camping spots or resort accommodation is available Ring 08 8976 0960 and
mention you are coming for the Triathlon.
Don't forget the Long Course is an open event so members and non members
can participate. If you aren't up for the distance, grab some mates and
form a team.
This event kicks off our club 2016 | 2017 age group pointscore competition
(this year changing to 5 year categories - woo hoo I hear to say), so hope
you are all on the entry list and get your season points off to an early
start.
