E NEWS - 20 NOV 2015 We continue our wet season Aquathlon Series tomorrow evening with event #2 taking place at the Waterfront. Are you on the competitor list yet?  You can check that here. Our distance this week is 200m swim, 2km run x 3. Some have already indicated that they would prefer to complete only two of the three and that's fine. If you give us a heads up prior to the event and make sure the last thing you do is cross the timing mat, we can accommodate this in results. Likewise if you want to give it a go and one swim, run seems enough, that's fine as well. Again, enter the event as normal and let us know beforehand.   RESULTS: 1.  Ironman Malaysia, 3.8km swim, 180km bike, 42.2km run Emily Heames 4th F25-29 13:05:02 Sarah Collins 4th F55-59 13:26:07   2.  Yungaburra Triathlon, 1.5km swim, 90km bike, 10km run Tim Green 2nd Open Male 2:12:21 3.  12HR Endurance Run Results   COMING UP: Aquathlon #2 Saturday 21 November 2015 Waterfront 6pm (registration closes 5:45pm sharp) 200m swim, 2km run x 3 Entry now open here Roster: Race Director:  Brian Gallagher Registration:     Diane Napier | Dan Homes Fruit | Ice:         Diane Napier   CLUB TRI GEAR ORDER: 1.  Part of our tri gear order has just arrived & the rest will be here next week.  As soon as they are sorted and packed, an email will be sent giving collection options.   OTHER NEWS: 1.  Our members pop up everywhere.  David Panjer latest in the Nine News. 2.  Junior member Matt Ellison has been named joint male winner of 2015 NTIS Carbine Club Personal Excellence Award.  3.
