Robyn's E News 9 Oct 08

Hi All,

Good luck to all those competing in the Sprint event at the weekend.

NWXT EVENT:

Race 3 K9 Sprint Series (Incorp. NT Sprint Distance Championships)
Sunday 12 October 08
Lake Alexander, 7am start
Registration closes: 6.45am
750m swim/ 20km cycle / 5km run

Information Update:

Here is some more information on Sunday’s race from President John Thyne. Please pass this message onto as many people as possible.


Triathlon NT will be holding their AGM just before the race on Sunday. So registration will close at 6.45am and the AGM is planned to take about 10 minutes after that.

The race brief will then be held and the race will start as close to 7am as possible.


There is a slight change to the normal ride course which you should be aware of. The ride is the normal two laps out around the Sunset Cove round about at Nightcliff. The turn for the second lap will not be at the Lake - it has been moved back to outside the Cool Spot on Dick Ward Drive. This is so the ride course will be as close to 20km as is safely possible.

There will be a drafting official on a motor bike for this event.

Other information about the course will be given during the race brief.

Remember to get there nice and early to get registered on time.

The registration process will be slightly different to the normal club race registration. You will also need to supply your age at the 31 Dec 08. (Your TA card has your age group as at 31 Dec 08).

After the race winners trophies and age group medals will be given out. There will also be spot prizes given out which have been donated by K9 Cycles. You have to be there to win so please stay after the race for your chance to win.

If any one is not planning to race then please come down and give Mark Anzin a hand to be an official, help at the drink station or any other job that needs doing.

Train safe,
Cheers,
Robyn
