Another case of a perfect day for triathlon as 80 plus competitors lined up for the weekly club event. There were some good times recorded but also some still suffering from too much Christmas cheer (me). The weather was almost perfect with little breeze and cool (not cold) conditions.
The major discussion point this morning was the need to pass through transition one at a time and not descend on the transition desk as one screaming mob. Remember we don’t have a computer timing system capable of processing 12 competitors per second just yet, it is still manual and even though the crew are skilled it still takes time.
There will be breakfast held after the race on Saturday 28th January. So mark your diaries.
A reminder also that we need to wear shirts when we are doing the ride and the run. Thank you Adam for your understanding.
The last housekeeping point is there are still uniforms to be collected. If you have ordered a uniform please see Julie and collect it from her. There is a list of items that are available from Julie for sale that people haven’t been back to collect or for whatever reason they don’t require at the bottom of this blog. If you want any of the items in the list please see Julie.
There will be one more order before the end of the season if numbers allow. The major difference will be that if you order a uniform we will expect payment at the time of ordering. Sorry gang but we can’t afford to carry large orders while we wait for people to collect and pay.
Random draw winners this morning were:James Mourant, Cherie Montford, Ben Saunders, George Saunders, and Julie Bloor. Congratulations to you all and thank you to the sponsors; Palm Beach Supercycles, South Tweed Bicycles, Kingscliff Bike Centre, Cannibal Clothing, Studio 4 and Ben Saunders remedial Massage.
