Hi All,
Noticed lots of people out training over the weekend. I think everyone must check out the BOM website and schedule rides accordingly. Still some "dodge the showers" happening if your ride was anything like mine. It was nice to see the sun again, albeit way too briefly as it looks like we are about to cloud over again.

2. The legal profession won't know what's hit it now that Matt Hubber has been admitted to the Bar.
3. Greg Kahl is back in town. He recently competed in the Callala Beach triathlon only days after an accident on his bike.
4. On the mend after knee surgery - Al Stancombe.
5. Channel 9 will be screening a one hour highlights package from Ironman WA at 11am, Sunday 25 January 09.
6. Get well wishes to Ali Fitch. Ali has been admitted to Canberra Hospital with pneumonia.
7. Bicycle NT says this is a good time to remind people to report broken glass, and all other problems they find on their road/path. You can either call your local council directly or go to Report a fault on the network.
8. Some people have reported that the Challenge Series website is only showing the Adelaide event. When you go to www.challengeseries.org.au you currently need to hover on each of the people featured to bring up the other events pages. This may be rectified over Christmas. In the meantime the information for all the remaining Challenge Series events are there - so get cracking with your bookings over the break.
I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas where ever you are spending it (members are currently all around the world as well as spread across Australia). Thanks for your feedback on E News, hope you enjoyed the eclectic mix of news during the year.
Triathlon 3 x the fun
Cheers

Robyn's E News 17 Dec 08
Hi All,
Those members still out there training are finding it increasingly more difficult to dodge the raindrops. With a cyclone expected to form in the vicinity by end of week, I'm thinking it's not going to get any easier. The water temperature at Nightcliff Pool is down to ... wait for it ... a refreshing 30 degrees!
UNIFORM UPDATE:
1. We haven't forgotten those bathers that were returned. Scody have advised that replacements have been dispatched and fingers crossed we may still have everyone sorted by Christmas. Thank you for your patience.
FOR SALE / WANTED ETC:

2. FOR SALE: Darwin Triathlon Club Ladies TriSuit XS $155 Contact darwintriclub@bigpond.com
3. FOR SALE: (1) 2 lots of tri-bars, will sell cheap; (2) women's cycling jersey, size 4 women's ($25), would fit young girl and (3) Bum getting sore on the bike? We have 3 spare bike seats (2 Bontrager) at our place, come have a look. Contact: Erica 0402 240 730
4. ITEMS for this section by 8pm Sunday please.
OTHER NEWS:
1. Many of you will remember Tom Gilfedder. Tom is back in town for a short visit enroute to Alice Springs for Christmas. Good to catch up. Brett Sampson was also in town recently.
2. We have a number of people departing Darwin for far flung places. One farewell this week is Nic Hahn. Good luck Nic.
3. I got a couple of emails pointing out that the bike course at the Canberra Half Ironman was longer than the stated 90km. Take your pick ... anywhere between 93km & 96km. From all reports, those who competed in the event copped some pretty tough conditions.
4. Gu have a yummy flavour (choc & mint) ideal for silly season running.
5. Love the TA Challenge Series towel. Don't forget that the Challenge Series has it's own website www.challengeseries.org.au for info on all upcoming events.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A NEW TRIATHLETE WHEN...
... your sunglasses are big and round or change colour
... breaststroke is your fastest stroke
... you have yet to breakfast on a Gel
