Hi All,
Cyclone
warnings aside, do hope you are all enjoying this patch of cooler
weather. Great to see many of you out there training regardless.
Hearing a lot of you were successful in dodging the rain completely. The
BoM radar is a valuable training resource at this time of year!
Are you
ready for it? Our splash n dash action returns to the Waterfront – at the
very social time of 6pm - on Saturday evening. If you are staying
on for a meal at one of the many restaurants or cafes, suggest making a booking
would be a good idea. There is always the wharf close by as well.
Our junior
tri gear order has been extended until midday today (see details below).

6. We
have a number of members on count down for departure from Darwin. We know
they will take a little of Darwin Tri Club with them, and even continue to wear
their tri gear at events (.. best ice breaker around) and keep in touch.
We love to hear how our former members are doing & their event results and
with so many of us travelling interstate/overseas there is a fair chance that
we will catch up again sometime soon. All the best to those taking off.
Cheers,
Robyn
