Hi all, 
  
Aquathon results Tuesday 24 Jan,available now. 


On another note sadly no-one has stepped in to help out on Sunday 29th,with 
 
the club tri,if no-one is available,in particular to set up the swim course,we 
 
will have to cancell the event. ]

Watch this site for more details !!

 
Cheers M. 
 


 
At last weeks committee it was decided in accordance to tri rules,anyone
not racking their bike correctly will be sin binned for 15sec.and all bags
etc must be removed from transition.We will also be marking the transition
area and not allowing cars within the zone,dismounting and mounting rules
will be enforced.

One of the reasons for doing these events is to help sharpen race skills,there
is no point if we allow basic rules to be ignored.

A reminder to those who have not paid their fees yet,if you have participated
in one event and are not financial you must pay before you can participate
again.
If you choose to participate invitation you will not get a hcp.or be timed
and will start as either front or back marker.

Membership has advantages!

If you need details on joining check out the web site.

Please distribute this email to members as I don't have a complete email
list

Cheers M.

Well believe it or not summer has started,well at least the summer triathlon
season is underway.

A new course King and Queen of the mountain was held today Sun.16 Oct and
it proved Grant Gilbert is still the King and Annabel Brennan the Queen.

In testing conditions and on a run course designed by a sadist,which kept
the heart rate high and warmed the body a small but dedicated group of members
did their best to keep the tradition of this race going for yet another year.

Unfortunately there were no junior athletes so for the second year running
nothing will be engraved on that trophy,a real shame for such a traditional
event.


We did have one senior apology,apparently he was preparing to test out his
new mountain bike and at some point in his driveway,on the first ride,managed
an incredible wheel stand,that resulted with him flat out on his back.Smart
by name smart by nature.Hope you are o.k.Rob.


Don't forget next event Vic.Park Tues.Nov.8 6:00pm.


Membership fees are NOW DUE and can be paid electronically or in person at
any Bendigo Bank.See below for details.
