Hi all,
It may be bucketing down again today but I'm thanking the weather gods for a weekend that allowed many of us to get our long training done.
Long is the focus for a number of our members at the moment with Ironman Malaysia, Ironman New Zealand, Ironman 70.3 Singapore and Australian Long Course Championships all on the horizon as well of course, Ironman Australia.
But closer to home, look forward to this weekend's Challenge Race (mtb) at Lake Alexander. It will be fun, it will be challenging and you won't know what you are doing until the race brief. Make sure you come mentally prepared as well!

2. The results from the aquathlon and the mtb race are now up on the club website. Thanks Al.
3. Junior report from Nerida: The Juniors met at the Leanyer Water Park on yesterday morning, with Race Directors intention of a Duathlon only because of Power problems there during the week. With the beautiful weather and the power restored, over 40 young competitors enjoyed a slightly longer than normal Triathlon and a shorter Teams race afterwards. The race included quite a lengthy run to transition and then out to the Bike path for a good slog up towards Karama. The run tracked out the gates back towards Leanyer and return, and found most juniors thriving in the conditions. Each week we have new members and many able and keen parents coming along to assist. We appreciate their time and enthusiasm each week, and welcome any input they have to give. Next junior event is a Mountain Bike Triathlon at Lake Alexander on 1 Mar 09.
4. Sport & Rec are running a Presenter/Assessor training course 8 & 9 March. Further details phone Sam on 8982 2378
5. The Darwin Cycling Club is under new management and would like it known that a number of opportunities exist for junior and senior cyclists to participate in recreational level bike racing and bike handling skills development. Further information www.darwincyclingclub.com or phone Tim 8928 0039.
TRIATHLON TRIVIA:
Q: What is T1 ?
A: Transition is either of two parts of a triathlon where competitors change disciplines, first from swimming to cycling (T1) and then from cycling to running (T2).

A big thank you also to the many volunteers who assisted Dingo, especially those who jumped in to help marshall.
Suggest this will be a much talked about event and there will be mud stains on race gear forever !

Further information: www.balitriathlon.com

OTHER NEWS:
1. Did you know that Darwin Triathlon Club's website contains a section where members can post items for sale, let others know of training possibilities, find riding partners etc etc. A "how to" will be published soon for those not familiar - otherwise just bungle through like I do. No anonymous postings please (although my user name came up anonymous, I did sign off & I'll get better).
2. Stu Fitch's age group win at Geelong yesterday was his third. Also means he is the Half Ironman Series age group champ in M55-59. Well done, Stu.
3. A calendar review is currently underway. If you have any comments or suggestions for next season's events now is the time to speak to one of our committee members or contact Mick Outhred who is driving this review.
4. The Honour Board on the club website has been updated to include perpetual trophy winners. I would also like to include our age group pointscore winners so watch that space.
5. The special fares on Garuda Indonesia look like tying in nicely with the Bali International Triathlon (28 June 09). Don't forget race directors are extending a special Club Discount to our members of $25 US. Club members can type: BALI09 into the discount code section on active.com. when they enter. Further information: www.balitriathlon.com
6. The timekeepers yesterday did their best in a difficult situation but we are missing some times so may not get splits done. Please email me if you finished the race & there is no result showing, or it's incorrect. Also let me know if you did not finish. If I can have by 7pm tonight please it would be appreciated.
7. We extend a big welcome to those members who have joined the club recently. It's great to see you out there enjoying the sport of triathlon.
