Welcome to a October, very cold start 12 degrees. We still had a lot of hearty, tough triathletes turn up. 18 new people today. Warm welcome, well I hope it is next week.
Wendy showed everyone how your helmet needs to be worn to ensure your safety. Please ensure that you alternate on the bike racks to make sure everyone fits. Also when you have registered, paid, had your number applied please make sure you sign the waiver. It is also part of Triathlon rules that your torso is covered at all times.
Next week is DST, so even more important that your lights are working front and back.
Thank you to Craig Broadhurst and Michelle Jones for marshalling this week. Next week is Simon Bradbery and Guy Ethell.
Dr. Bike mentioned that bells are required on bikes and where to put a copy of your drivers licence when riding. He went through the process of changing your front and rear tyres. If you are unsure please visit your local bike shop and ask them to give you a demonstration.

Thank you Guy Daveron for your continuing support by always getting the drink for the finishers ready and putting the water at the half way mark of the run, it is really appreciated.
See you next week.
