Prime conditions with only a light breeze for the 60 competitors who raced today for our fourth race of the season, with some great times including
Scott Wildin with a cracking 49.21!
Great to see returning faces today and also some new ones…
A warm welcome to Aimee Harradence – first time racer
Isaac Bloor and Cooper Bloor returning for their first races since juniors quite a few years ago. Great to see them racing with their mum Julie Lowe on the Intermediate course
Thanks for Craig Telling taking Remy Hawkins around for his first go at the Full course today. If anyone would like to step up to the full course or participate in their first race, we have members available who will gladly take you around the course – so don’t be shy!
Congratulations to Jenny Scaysbrook for her 350th race a couple of weeks ago and Ben Hall completing his 150th race last week
Jen has been a staple of the club for quite a few years now and was a former long-time committee member.
After completing a number of Half Ironmans, Jen recently completed her first Full Ironman in Cairns and we could not be prouder of her achievements.
Thanks to Kent Holmes and Michelle Jones for arranging the breakfast and our cooks Kevin Bannerman and Steve West for their efforts this morning – much appreciated
Some housekeeping…
Just a reminder, please ensure you have front and rear lights, working and switched on, during the bike leg and ensure you obey all road rules.
We also need you to keep the bike lane free where possible on the run course (stay as far away from the cars as possible) to give room for cyclists. This is really important especially when we have newer riders on the course as they need to stay as close to the side of the road as possible for safety reasons.
Registration
Sign in closes at 5.50am NSW to allow time for the timekeepers to finalise the entries prior to the 6am start for the first wave. Please allow enough time to get registered and numbered pre race
Marshalling
Thanks to today’s marshalls Warren Copping, Alex Torrance, Jo Colja and Tim Eade
If you have not already done so, could you please nominate a date to marshall. We need 4 marshalls each week to be able to hold our races and really need your support. The roster will be on the registration desk each week or let us know via email or facebook and we can add your name
Marshalls for next week are Gerard Robards, Kaleb Robards, Hollie Robards and Jenny Scaysbrook
We have quite a few athletes racing in Yamba in 2 weeks and I believe entries close this week if you are interested.
Registration is now open for next week so jump on and sign up – looking forward to our fifth race of the season next Saturday
Stay safe and keep training
