E NEWS 1 JUNE 17
We ventured down the track to Lake Bennett Resort for triathlon action at
the weekend and scored near perfect conditions!
It was an amazing morning to host the NT Standard Distance Championships
and also our short option event.
We extend a huge thank you to our volunteers:
Korgan Hucent
(Ray White Bayside) who was Race Director and a generous supporter of the
event including bringing extra helpers; Steve Goat who was Korgan's
right hand assistant; Jo
Duncan, Lucy
Thompson, Tatiane
Kelly et al helped with check in & finish line; John Thyne
who did a great job shopping & cutting up our much appreciated post
race refreshments; all our water station helpers (some pint sized); Craig Rachow
who was out longer than most looking after our timing system; Emma Host who
was out at our far bike turnaround; Alan
Barrett who manned bike corner at the resort entrance; Pippa
Featherstone who stepped in to lend a hand and to all those who just simply
assisted when needed - thank you for making our event such a success!
Thanks also to Skip Hall & crew on Water Safety and St John Ambulance
for ensuring the safety of our competitors.
Presentations of medals/trophies were made on behalf of Triathlon NT by
club president Luke
Fonsko.
All our age group
and overall winners also received AMart vouchers courtesy of Ray White
Bayside.

JUNIOR NEWS:
From our junior co-ordinators Rena
Walker & Lyn
Farrier:
We are certainly into the full swing of the busy dry season and we hope you
are all enjoying the cooler weather.
Our next event will be on MONDAY,
JUNE 12TH LAKE ALEXANDER @ 0730 (Please be
there by 07:15 for registration).
We thought we would take advantage of the public holiday to give kids and
parents the opportunity to join us without clashing with weekend team
sports commitments.
Your kids don't
have to be members of the triathlon club to participate,
but non-members do pay a slightly higher fee for participation: Members $3
and Non-Members $10
This event will be a SWIM/RUN event
so no bicycles are necessary, but please have the kids wear clothes they
can comfortably swim and run in and don't forget goggles.
We will be providing some light snacks and refreshments but please bring
your own water bottle.
We will run some fun water and land based activities for the younger and less confident
kids and they will be in shallow water so if your
child can't swim well they can walk, blow bubbles, kick with parent
assistance etc. If your child needs assistance and close supervision
in the water we ask that parents be ready to assist your child in the water
activities.
Depending on the ages, skill level and confidence of the kids we will do a
couple of micro aquathlons with the 'swim' and run distances modified
according to their ability.
The older
kids can choose to do a more challenging distance
according to your child's confidence and capability.
We generally like to finish our events with a relay with mixed teams of
younger and older children and parents are welcome to join in too, if they
are keen.
If you are
planning to attend, please let us know in advance by emailing
darwintriclubjunior@gmail.com
so we have approximate numbers for catering purposes.
PLEASE feel free to pass this information on to friends who you think will
be interested in coming along, the more the merrier.
Here are some dates for our planned
future events; August 13, September 10, October 15 and
November 12.
Hope to see you all there.
NEXT EVENT:
Sunday 25 June 2017
Off Road
Duathlon
Lee Point
7am
New event details being finalised. At this stage distances look like
being
Long 6km run | 24km mtb | 3km run

Info & Entry available shortly. Watch this space and/or Facebook.
