CLUB CHAMPS
What  a fabulous event. Kudos to Karen, Nicole and Kristy for the organisation of accommodation and goodie bags. No one could race without volunteers so a big shout out to the pink hat people.
 

SUNDAY RACE REPORT
It was definitely autumn weather for our return to club racing after BCU. A slightly smaller field contested our annual long course event. 57 people completed the event with Travis Shields coming in ahead of Isaiah Koopmans and Paul Herring. Kudos to Mick and Julie Darlow for turning up on their wedding anniversary. There was a little hiccup with loading the race results. There was a link provided for the long course. The link for the short course is being worked on and will be emailed as soon as possible.

Hi All,
There has been a tiny problem with the race results on the web site. if you wish to view the results please follow the link below.

Race information for Sunday 20th March
 
This Sunday will be our long course race in readiness for club champs.
For this Sunday only the long course race (1km/30km/7.5km) will be a 2 wave start..

• All males will start at 630am
• All females will start at 635am
• Short course will start at 640am

After trialling the 100 minute handicap and listening to feedback from our club members regarding safety, the committee have decided to trial a wave start at the next Club race meeting. We will be trialling this system over the next few race meetings to compare with the 100 minute handicap and will be asking members to give any feedback the committee as to the safety of our members, particularly our young competitors out on the road. The new wave system will be as follows:

• All members who are 18 and under (as per their Triathlon NSW registration), will start off scratch, regardless of whether they are doing a long or short course.
• All other competitors doing the Long course on a handicap will start in the following waves:

          0, 5, 10, 15, 20 mins

• All adults (older than 18) doing the short course will start off 22 minutes

All competitors should check their handicap on the board before our next club race begins. We will trial this wave handicap system for the remainder of the club races this season and then the committee will assess what will work best for next season.

SUNDAY RACE REPORT
What a fantastic race last Sunday.  Thanks to all of the competitors who made the extra effort to get into the 'Race of Love' theme.  It was a lot of fun with a few chuckles and head shakes as the costumes developed.  Sunday was our biggest club race this season, and looking back over our records it looks like the biggest turnout we have ever had at a club race.  120  starters on the long course and 24 on the short course.  It’s the first time we have had to put up 11 bike racks - many thanks to the duty volunteers and competitors for helping set that up at the last minute.

SUNDAY RACE REPORT
A warm breeze greeted competitors at the Jetty on Sundays' race. Besides the breeze, conditions were fabulous.  The good conditions brought a huge field of 122 competitors! Great to see so many new members. The times recorded is testament to the hard training regimes and commitment by members. No major incidents were reported. 
  
Eszter Hortobagyi was the first across the line followed by Iliane Beuke in the ladies. Newcomer, Chris Stevens and Michael Singleton were first and second over the line in the men.
