Twinnies Race Report 1 of 27
Welcome to start of our 30th season, it was great to start the season start off with a dry track, but we all know, we and everywhere else needs a big soaking of rain.
We had 74 competitors across the two distances, unfortunately we experienced a problem with the timing system with some chips not registering as you cross the timing mat and then a problem with the timing program. We hope to have it all fixed for next week’s race. As a result, no one will be handicapped and no points will be issued.
During the week, you may have received some correspondence from Twin Towns Services Club, if you are a financial member of the Triathlon Club. All member are required to sign the new Waiver Notice and return same to the club in the reply paid envelope. For non-financial members you will also be required to sign the Waiver once only. You are also required to acknowledge the waiver when completing your on-line registration each time. Most importantly, is the information on the rear of the form- FAQ’s for Twin Towns – Personal Accident Insurance.
Special thanks to todays marshals, Holli Robards, Diedre Stein, Marcel Van Kempan and Clive Pearce. Your marshals next week will be: Craig Broadhurst, Simon Bradbery, Bobby Smith and Scott Bornhold.
Please help us fill up the Marshal Roster, we need 4 each week and for those marshaling on Race 4 19 October – Double Distance. You will be delivered a pipping hot cup of coffee/hot chocolate of tea- we are looking for three (3) more volunteers.
