E NEWS 31
MARCH 2017
We had a brief shower of rain go through early on
Sunday and a small hiccup with setting up (resolved with the help of
awesome volunteers) but we still got our rescheduled Sprint #1 underway
at the earlier start time.
It was another great event with some hot competition within the age
groups as well as overall. The sprint series placings are wide open,
so #3 is going to be interesting.
A huge "Thank
You" to:
RD Barry
Sullivan; super helper David Hancock who towed the
trailer for us and placed swim bouys; Rowena Eastick & Vicki Woodrow
who handled check in; Jude
& Greg Murdock got our most important
post race refreshments sorted; Tom
Marsh, Tom Radford & David
Playmore covered transition guard, marshalling & water
stops; Craig Rachow stepped up to get our timing
sorted and thanks also to those who assisted during the morning including
with set up and pack away.
Your
contribution is greatly appreciated and our events are the success they
are, because of the willingness of our members (and friends) to put up
their hand to assist.
We move on to our final Sprint Series event (NT Sprint Distance C'ships) on
