... Robothlete - The individual you see running with music player, headphones, heart rate monitor, pace watch with GPS, and a fuel belt decked out with goodies and gadgets that make it look similar to Batman's utility belt. Additional style points added if the sunglasses somehow resemble the Terminator!
Hope to catch up with you Sunday,

3. The small orange bike mentioned last week as stolen, has been returned thanks to a member of the public handing into police station, police officer reading E News and calling up Phill. Way to go E News!
4. I hear there is some strategic team matching happening already for the Finlay's Stonemasonry NT Long Course Triathlon.
5. It's almost that time of year again when we will be clued to SBS for the Tour de France.
6. Mike Reilly will be calling Ironman WA this year. It's a real buzz to have your finish called by the "voice of Ironman".
7. Word is UK is building it's triathlon "team" around Alistair Brownlee for London 2012 Olympic Games.
8. USAT have finally voted to implement the 5 mm thickness rules for wetsuits. The report says this will come into force 1 Jan 2013 and that the adoption of this rule is designed to eliminate any competitive advantage gained by enhancements in wetsuit technology in recent years. Studies have shown there is a marked and measurable performance benefit to the use of certain wetsuits, specifically added buoyancy effectively reducing passive drag. These performance benefits have led to an increased, and artificially induced, reduction in physical demand required during the swim leg of a triathlon and an increase in speed.
9. TA Race Competition Rules don't allow any part of a wetsuit to be thicker than 5mm, I wonder what has taken USAT so long and why it has to give such a long lead in period??
10. Our club uniform stands out really well ! Lots of admiring comments and good feedback happening. I have a few odd pieces in stock, watch for list next week.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN...
... your bike has been blessed in Bali
... you finish a hard training session and drink a recovery drink in the shower
... 6.30am is a sleep in
Safe Training,

OTHER NEWS:
1. Lake Alexander has reopened for swimming.
2. Media Hound: 1. Bali triathlon report: http://www.ntnews.com.au/article/2010/06/18/157031_ntsport.html; 2. Dili Marathon & Bali Triathlon http://www.ntnews.com.au/article/2010/06/22/157911_ntsport.html
3. The small orange bike mentioned last week as stolen, has been returned thanks to a member of the public handing into police station, police officer reading E News and calling up Phill. Way to go E News!
4. I hear there is some strategic team matching happening already for the Finlay's Stonemasonry NT Long Course Triathlon.
5. It's almost that time of year again when we will be clued to SBS for the Tour de France.
6. Mike Reilly will be calling Ironman WA this year. It's a real buzz to have your finish called by the "voice of Ironman".
7. Word is UK is building it's triathlon "team" around Alistair Brownlee for London 2012 Olympic Games.
8. USAT have finally voted to implement the 5 mm thickness rules for wetsuits. The report says this will come into force 1 Jan 2013 and that the adoption of this rule is designed to eliminate any competitive advantage gained by enhancements in wetsuit technology in recent years. Studies have shown there is a marked and measurable performance benefit to the use of certain wetsuits, specifically added buoyancy effectively reducing passive drag. These performance benefits have led to an increased, and artificially induced, reduction in physical demand required during the swim leg of a triathlon and an increase in speed.
9. TA Race Competition Rules don't allow any part of a wetsuit to be thicker than 5mm, I wonder what has taken USAT so long and why it has to give such a long lead in period??
10. Our club uniform stands out really well ! Lots of admiring comments and good feedback happening. I have a few odd pieces in stock, watch for list next week.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN...
... your bike has been blessed in Bali
... you finish a hard training session and drink a recovery drink in the shower
... 6.30am is a sleep in
Safe Training,
Cheers,
