Hi All,
With the
dry season starting to kick in and another long weekend just past, we have all
gone into crazy busy mode, with so much to do and see. Some of us have
even had our first dry season visitors descend!
In
triathlon land it is much the same. Busy, busy!
We have our
Kerran Mudgway Memorial Club Championships coming
up this weekend (with many of the mums among us getting leave passes to come
out and play because it’s Mother’s Day). With two distances on offer
there is something to suit all members. As always you are very welcome to
form a team if you would prefer.
Note: Team
entries are completed by the nominated team “captain” so have details of DAR
Numbers and which timing chip you will use before you set up your team.
We will
again have Blue Cycles NT crew on hand to assist at
this event (thank you) but we also encourage you to check your own equipment
beforehand and take your bike in before race day should you need repairs.
