Race 6 of 28
Again we had great weather for our Double Distance Race, thanks very much to both Hollie Robards & Stu Chambers for marshalling the entire race. We saw over 130 competitors including 13 new starters go around the both the double & single distance course . That was the last big hit out before we have a large contingent head north to compete and represent Twinnies at the Noosa Multi Sport Triathlon in two weeks.
Comparing Times & Tactics
Twinnies members rated well at last weekends Yamba Triathlon with Tracey Foyster and Jenny Scaysbrook finishing 1st in their age group, Heidi Sowerby 2nd and Jo Colja 3rd in their age groups- well done

Doctor Bike Junior
Todays lecture was on checking the skewers on the bike, there the things that hold 7 lock the wheels into place, Most of our bikes have quick releases fitted, if you hear a rattling sound as you go over bumps, say Dry Dock Road, parts of Kennedy Drive etc there is a chance your front skewer is loose. Next week he’ll show everyone how easy it is to change a tyre. Make sure you get his phone number so you can call him when you get a flat, get Lancey’s number as well he’s pretty good at changing flats as well.
