OTHER NEWS:
1. Spare a
thought for Ron
Griep, his tri events in the Netherlands were cancelled due
to hot weather!
2. Speedy recovery wishes to Michael
Mondy who has spent some time in RDH & is facing
surgery following a bike crash last Thursday evening. Michael would
like to hear from anyone who witnessed his accident on McMillans Road. We
will put you in touch if you did.
3. Amazing result for Heath
Porter at the weekend. At the half way point of the swim,
he decided to stop and remove his wetsuit and then made his way back
through the field and finished in 2nd.
4. There were kangaroo sightings out on the bike course, but it was
the stray bananas that had everyone talking afterwards.
5. Our equipment guy Alex
Murdock is swapping his tri gear for some test cricket
viewing in the UK.
6. We have another farewell coming up shortly. Lee Wilson and
family are heading back to Brisbane to be closer to family after a 10 year
stint in the Territory. Lee has been a low profile in tri circles of
late, but many have benefited via his contribution to the development of
the sport through his coaching, his stint as Junior Development Officer for
Triathlon NT and as a competitor. We wish Lee, Donna & family all the
best with their move.
7. Friday track sessions originally started by Lee will continue with
John Thyne at the helm.
8. NT News 8
July 2015
9. Work is being undertaken at Lake Alex in an attempt to remove the
stinky mud on the boat ramp area.
10. It's dry season and that unfortunately means bike theft is on the rise.
Make sure you secure your bikes well at night. Mountain bikes
seem to be targeted at the moment with a number of thefts reported in social
media.
11. Reminder - jump in now and get those tickets for Saturday evening
- we would love to see you all there.
PIC OF THE
WEEK:
 Triathlon volunteers come in
all sizes
Keep on tri-ing
Cheers,
