OTHER NEWS:
1. Great news for the Juniors. Woolworths have awarded the juniors a grant of $3000. Thanks to Belinda Birk for her efforts here.
2. Our sincere condolences to Paul & Kylie Sheffield following the passing of Paul's dad. Our thoughts are with them & family at this time.
3. I hear Shaye Hatty was ecstatic with her performance in the Comrades Run and happy with the result. Shaye gave a good interview with ABC radio afterwards & apparently the hills were unbelievable, almost mountainous were her words. Her legs were smashed after the first 21km where some of the biggest hills are. She regrouped and held a consistent 6:30/km pace for the rest of the run. She has some very nasty blisters but apart from that felt great so she is recovering well.
4. Also from Shaye - apparently a male runner was ambushed at gun point and his Nike shoes stolen, he ran the last 50km barefoot and finished.
5. Some great results in City2Surf for our members. 5 out of the top 10 guys & the female winner were DTC members. In the men's category winners, all but one were triathletes. Members were also represented in the Mini Surfer as well, with many of our juniors placing posting good results.
6. You would have seen the call for interested persons for local organising committee for the Arafura Games Triathlon. A range of skills are required, so if you can help out please get in touch with Brett.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN...
...you get excited because you find a new Gu (or similar) flavour you can tolerate
...you start work in half an hour & you are still hot & sweaty in cycling gear
Triathlon 3 x the fun
Cheers
