5. I completely missed the Cup yesterday and it didn't hurt a bit. Very busy and out and about for work, I confess it took me a few minutes to work out why people were wearing silly hats and eating chicken and drinking champagne at one of the business offices I went into. The bright side is that I saved myself $$$.
YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN...
... you open the freezer and have to move ice packs to reach the ice cream
... you know the names of more past Hawaii Ironman winners than NT Chief Ministers
... you are in heavy training & all you can think about is what can you eat next
Safe Training,

Hi All,
How disappointing for our juniors ! Organisers had to make the call to cancel the junior event at Lake Alex yesterday. With the rain bucketing down that hard, it wasn't a difficult decision to make. Safety first ! The kids will be looking forward to lining up in a fortnight.
When the rain finally stopped, and the BOM radar was favourable, many of our members were spotted out there completing their postponed training. There is a large group of our members heading over early next month for Asia-Pacific Ironman 70.3 Championships at Phuket so plenty of training action is happening.
