Approximately 80 triathletes competed in cooler temperatures with southerly winds. It was great to see numbers increase with no early rain to greet us. We still have participants with lights attached but not working….failure to abide by club rules will result in a 2 week suspension. For club champs it will be automatic disqualification. The pointscore championship is still very close and best wishes to all.
A special appearance for the morning was the return to the club by Kay & Len Ball – it was great to see you both supporting the family! Great to see Gary MacArthur returning too!
It is always great to present a milestone and congratulations to Joe Mollica for achieving his 100 race cap!
Our marshals, Fergo and Rob did a fantastic job and how wonderful it is to have the senior boys helping out even when injured. Thanks boys!
The committee is updating members’ details over the next two weeks re name, address, email, mobile, birthday & contact person so we can return to the weekly emails for all members next season. Make sure your details are correct!
