Hi All,
We had a great
turnout at Lake Alexander for our final swim, bike, run format event for
2014. Conditions were hot and steamy and the competition much the same!
Our thanks
to RD’s Tony Cox and Julia Logan for taking charge of the running of our
event.
As always
their efforts and those of all our volunteers on race day are hugely
appreciated by club members as is the support given by Blue Cycles NT.
Do check
our updated
calendar for details of all our upcoming events for the
remainder of season 2014|2015 as there have been extra events included in
response to member feedback.
Some roster
spots still need to be filled to ensure these events can go ahead - email if you can help out.
The final
event on the seniors calendar is our traditional Christmas Splash N Dash, with
Nightcliff Pool reopening just in time for this!
There will
be no E News next week, so please check our website,
facebook page or Twitter
for updates.
