E News 13 Oct 16 Our Super Sprint Handicap last weekend was judged by participants to be an all round success! A huge thank you to our Treasurer Lisa Payne who stepped up as RD when no one else put up their hand. Lisa and her mini crew got us all organised and ready to go with the help of rego volunteer Tina Sanderson & fruit & ice was sorted thanks to Jo Duncan. We had plenty of committee members on hand to help as well and we are also grateful to those who just pitched in on the day to assist.   Results: 1.  Super Sprint #3, Handicap First over the line: Male:  Daryl Stanley  Female:  Ryoko Jones Full results here 2.  Ironman World Championships, Hawaii, 3.8km swim, 180km bike, 42.2km run Kevin Coyle 125th M30-34 10:21:23 Jac Crofton 31st F40-44 11:04:34 Fiona Coyle 54th F30-34 11:28:01 Sarah Collins 17th F55-59 12:43:46 3.  Chicago Marathon, 42km Richard Bland 1529th M35-39 3:58:14 4.  Alice Springs Masters Games, various Results to hand:   20km Time Trial - cycling Vicki Woodrow 4th F55-59 39:06 Criterium - cycling Steve Goat 1st M35-39 Vicki Woodrow 4th F55-59 Half Marathon Lyn Triess 4th F40-44 1:55:29 MTB Telegraph Station 25km Night Race: Steve Goat 3rd M35-39 5km x-country run Steve Goat 1st M35-39 20:52 MTB Criterium Steve Goat 35rd M35-39   Junior News: Our next junior event will be Sunday 23 October 2016 Triathlon Lake Alexander 7:30am (Register 7:15am) This time activities will include a swim, so make sure the kids are ready to get wet.  If your child needs assistance and close supervision in the water we ask that parents be ready to be involved in the water activities.  After seeing the enthusiasm the kids jumped in the water last time we expect that water activities will be popular. Again we will be having some fun activities for the younger kids 5-9, including practising transitions, entry and exit from water and a short obstacle course.  Then we will do a couple of mini triathlons with fun being the main focus. For the older kids 10+ they can choose to do a more structured triathlon where the child and parent can choose the distances they wish to participate in, according to their individual capabilities. Time permitting we would like to do a relay again with teams mixing younger and older children and parents too.  The kids seem to enjoy racing against parents so if you feel up to it, we would love for you to participate. If you are planning to attend, please email darwintriclubjunior@gmail.com and let us know in advance so we have approximate numbers for catering purposes. Fee for participation: Members $3 and Non-Members $10 ANY type of bike can be used but please make sure your child has a helmet.   Next Event: Sunday 30 October 2016 Off Road Triathlon #1 Lake Alexander 7am 300m swim | 13km mtb | 3km run Info & entry here Roster: Race Director:  Luke Fronsko Registration:     Louise Lamb | Diane Napier Fruit | Ice:         Sarah Huddlestone   Other News: 1.  Know someone keen on getting started in triathlon?  Let them know about Triathlon NT's beginner sessions 2.  Good luck Brad George, competing at Melbourne Marathon this weekend. 3.  Our Kona crew are either home or heading this way.  Thanks for a great day's tracking! 4.  Official results are not yet up but it appears Kevin Coyle and Fiona Coyle (fresh off the plane from Hawaii) have taken out the Alice Springs Masters Games Duathlon! 5.  Also hearing there were gold medal results posted in the duathlon by Vicki Woodrow and Steve Goat. 6.  Tom Marsh is doing a little fundraising for cancer research.  Find out more & donate here. 7.  NT News 8 Oct 16 8.  Appears the bike lane on the Esplanade is to stay.  But then again it may not be. 9.  Ten best photos from Kona   Pic of the Week: There's an "Oops" moment in this - can you pick it?
