Robyn's E News 20 June 2012


Hi All,

Lots happening, including the launch of our 2012/2013 Calendar which is up on our website.  

We are now calling for volunteers to fill the various roster positions to ensure the events can go ahead.  We need a Race Director, 2 x Registration, 2 x Timekeepers and 1 x Fruit/Ice positions to be filled at each event.

There is an expectation that all our members volunteer for at least roster position per season.  We have a wonderful volunteer culture within our club & we are sure that will continue for this coming  season.

So please check out the various positions available to be filled and email asap to ensure you get your preferred event and time.  

Can I suggest you give a couple of preferences in case your first choice has already been taken.  

If you are volunteering more than once (and some wonderful people do that) please make sure you indicate that you are happy to do ALL dates/positions you list.

The roles of Race Director and Timekeepers attract maximum points for pointscore.

How To sheets are available for those who haven’t done timekeeping or fruit/ice before.

I look forward to being inundated with emails.

Hi All,

A great turnout of competitors and supporters at Lake Alexander yesterday.  We had a bit of humidity kick in towards the end of the week but the decision to allow wetties was still much appreciated, especially by our leaner (read, feel the cold) members.

Our race director Simon Cruickshank and a horde of volunteer helpers did a marvellous job to stage the event for our members.  Sincere thanks to Simon and the team.

We welcomed a group of new members at our event yesterday.  Some were familiar returning faces, and others were participating in their first event with our club.  A big welcome to all, it was great to see you all enjoying your tri experience.

2.  Ron Griep is sporting some heavy road pizza as a result of a spill on Saturday morning.  We wish him a speedy recovery.

3.  Steer clear of Korgan Hucent and Dave Croser, both are the latest to have the sniffles.  They were standing well clear yesterday (or was that, everyone was giving them a wide berth?).

4.  Helen Bretten was up from Katherine to compete at the weekend.  Rocked up to the race with a smile a mile wide ~ a new bike does it every time!

5.  Who set up a big lead in the swim and then dropped a bike shoe over the first speed bump and had to stop and retrieve it?

6.  Bertram Birk was spotted yesterday enjoying the playground equipment.

7.  Please congratulate David McLeod, he scored his first club event win yesterday.  The form he displayed in the short course indicated the long would have been the better option.

8.  We farewell Jac Crofton and Nic French this week.  They are heading to Victoria.  Nic is pretty rapt at the thought of having a large calendar of duathlon events to choose from.  We are sure the Top End connection is very strong and we will see them back occasionally.

9.  Ali & Stu Fitch are Philippines bound where Ali has race commitments.

10.  Michelle Mitchell has headed over to the US.

11.  Matt King has finished the Tour of Toowoomba with his new team. 

12. It’s the 6th Bali International Triathlon this weekend. 

13.  The Bali course reverts back to the original course this year and cuts out the tougher hills. With the change of location of the swim start, the 800m beach run also goes. The Bali bike blessing is unique and a must do. 

14.  For the first couple of years, the Bali Tri had bike racks made of bamboo.

15.  A new Ironman 70.3 has been announced for Australia. Mandurah in WA will host the event in October.  More info here.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE A TRIATHLETE WHEN …

… you unknowingly start stretching during client meetings
… your "retired" running shoes are only four months old
… all your underwear is “Coolmax”


Safe training,
Cheers,
Robyn
