BACK INTO IT
By now most of us are well and truly back into the swing of training and racing, and looking forward to a packed season, not to mention taking out Club Champs in May! Many of our members are looking forward to away races in the near future and of course there are a host of events in the local region – like the bcu Coffs Tri on 8 March (have you entered yet???).

But in the immediate future is our next CHTC club race on Sunday 1 February. As always, please be racked & ready by 6:15am, with the race briefing at 6:20am and race start at 6:30am.

An additional volunteer is needed for the swim duty. If you can volunteer on the swim this Sunday, please contact Mark Griffiths at markgriffiths1964@gmail.com. Or, if you are already on duty and are willing to swap to swim duty, please let Mark know ASAP. Volunteers need to arrive by 5:45am, and don’t forget to sign on to register that you have turned up!
The long range forecast is for a hot, humid day with possible showers. With all the rain we’ve been having of late, the roads are very slippery and there can be a lot of debris on the road, so please take extra care and plan your corners well so as to avoid sudden braking.

We will once again have the incoming tide, as high tide is at 7:43am, so expect to be swimming for the majority of the time. Sea temperatures have been hovering the mid-20s, so we may be up for a no-wetsuit swim. Be prepared!

In the meantime, please take care training in these wet conditions and remember that your safety is far more important than race times.

See you on Sunday!

UNIFORMS
The next club race will be your last opportunity to order CHTC Tri gear for this season.   It is also your last chance to have it back before Club Champs in May.

If you are unable to attend the race on the weekend, please contact Michelle Clarke at shellclarke88@gmail.com or phone 0412 091 449 and she will arrange a time and place where you can try things on. 

Also, we have a couple of items that members wish to sell. Both are new and not been worn.  Please contact the sellers directly if you are interested:
  • Chris Rowthorne has a large Tri suit for sale. It is the new BTR carbon tech design and he is asking $155. Phone Chris on 0400 300 117.
  • Vicki Tillot has a Tri suit to sell in the Scody unisex design medium.  She is asking $100. Phone Vicki on 0408 013 862.

CLUB CHAMPS EARLY BIRD ENDING SOON!
For those who pay for your accommodation for Club Champs ($80 per person) by 1st February there are some big incentives & rewards.

You have 26 chances to win.  The random draw prizes include:
  • 1 x refund of Coffs Tri Club Membership Fees ($120 value)
  • 25 x $20 refund from Club Champ fees (meaning that accommodation will only cost you $60 for 2 nights)
But in order to win these prizes you must pay for your Club Champs accommodation by 1st February.  This is the same date as our next club race - and yes you can pay in cash on the day as a last minute entry! See Vicki Tillott for more info.

Fees can also be paid directly into the club bank account:
Coffs Harbour Triathlon Club (BCU)
BSB: 704328, Account number: 197693 (S11 if you are transferring from another BCU account)
List your name as reference
Winners will be announced the first week of February.

All the information you need to know about the Club Champs weekend is in the attached flyer. Don’t forget to register for the race itself!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR bcu COFFS TRI
The bcu Coffs TRI on 7-8 March cannot run without the generous support of volunteers so if you can spare a few hours on Saturday or Sunday to assist with the smooth running of the event, please email mick@villagesports.com.au.

Your help is very much appreciated by the team at Village Sports.

MULTI-TASKING
With lots of sunshine, hot temperatures and now rain to match you might find your lawn out of control. How does a time-poor triathlete fit in all the training & lawn maintenance required in this busy time of year? With one of these, of course.
