Robyn's E News 9 April 2012

Hi All,

Do hope you are all enjoying your Easter long weekend. I know many are taking the opportunity to get out and about. Still others are adding new dimensions to their training.

OTHER NEWS:

1. Did you spot the “addition / edition” error in the last E News? Oops.
2. All for charity: On April 15 Chrissie Wellington will run the Paris Marathon, hop on her bike and make her way over a 600 mile route to the U.K. at which point on 22 April 22, she'll run the London Marathon.
3. Checking the Cairns list, we appear to have at least 20 members lining up for the 2.80.20 and two in IM Cairns.
5. Half a dozen of you have signed up for 2013 IM Melbourne.
6. Bali International Triathlon course maps are up. Bike leg has gone back to the original course used in the very first Bali race (that was the one where they built the bike racks from bamboo!)
7. Haydn Whitty and Trevor Moses are competing in Sydney on Sunday. If you, or someone you know, are competing away we would love to hear from you. 8. Entering an away event? Make yourself easier to find by entering your suburb as DARWIN. Event commentators are also likely to mention someone from Darwin (as opposed to, say, Ludmilla or Gunn) which in turn helps build our profile interstate and overseas.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …
… your Easter egg remains on ice and uneaten
… you have wondered what to do with all your race number bibs
… your partner is looking forward to the day when you will slow down and just run marathons

Safe training,
Cheers, Robyn

Hi All,

Isn’t it wonderful to be anticipating a lovely long Easter break (that’s those of you not working or on call)? Are you already stockpiling hot cross buns and Easter eggs in anticipation?

With that extra time available, those wanting to make the Triathlon Australia Age Group Team for ITU Sprint Distance World Triathlon Championships in Auckland (18-22 October) can be busy scanning the final pointscore following the edition of the points from the Ray White Darwin NT Sprint Distance Triathlon results.

Now here is the interesting part … many of our members would be eligible to make the team. If you wish to know where you stand points wise check here. FYI: If you age up at 1 July, your points count in that age category.

If your heart fluttered a little at the prospect of the possibility of wearing green and gold and/or having a trisuit with your name & country on it, check the selection policy (carefully) here.

OTHER NEWS:

1. The slushy machine destined for our race on Sunday didn’t quite make it. Ray White Darwin office was awash after the machine was accidently dropped.

2. Some photos from the weekend are already up on our Facebook page. Don’t forget to LIKE us while you are there ! (Also more to come Flickr).

3. Junior members Bella Hatty, Hamish Wiltshire, Joseph White and Louise Jettner are part of the NT Team in action today at the School Sport Triathlon Championships (Busselton, WA). Good luck to all.

4. The Lake Bennett course will be inspected tomorrow and discussions held with Resort management. Depending on outcomes, a decision will be made on whether or not we can increase our field size for the Kerran Mudgway event. Thank you for understanding that, at all times, athlete safety is our highest priority.

5. Enjoy your Easter break whatever you may be doing or where ever you may be heading. Some of you will be taking the opportunity to kick back and relax while others will be putting in solid training blocks. Please take care if you are out there on the roads (driving or riding).

6. Pools are closed on Good Friday. Sat, Sun & Monday opening times are Public Holiday hours (10am – 7.30pm).

7. Katherine Ultra Challenge online registration is now open here. Date for KUC has been put back to 5 August 2012 so that 100kms can all be done in one day again. Given the trend for events to sell out quickly I’d suggest this is another that you will need to enter sooner rather than later. More KUC info here.

8. Our Finlay’s NT Long Course Triathlon (2km swim, 60km bike, 16km run) date is 26 August 2012 (Lake Bennett).

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …

… you appreciate your sunglasses more because they allow you to anonymously observe the wonders of tight fitting lycra over race tuned triathlete bodies
… you feel like you had a day off because all you did was swim two laps of Lake Alex
… you tried to explain that the water in Darwin feels chilly when it gets to 27 degrees and got laughed at


Safe training,
Cheers,
Robyn
