Cronulla Triathlon Club : AEST 8.00am Mon 23rd August 2010

To all who knew and loved Lyndon,

Please come along to celebrate his life and give him the farewell that he deserves.
The service will start at 2.00pm Friday 27th August 2010, followed by drinks and light refreshments at Elouera Surf Club.

Instead of bringing flowers, we all believe that Lyndon would have much preferred the money donated to the Leukaemia Foundation, so a box will be provided at the service if you wish to donate.

Friday · 2:00pm - 5:00pm

Capricorn Half Ironman
If anyone wants to write a story about their race, I'm sure everyone would love to read it, especially the first
timers. Here is a little bit of a story from a friend of Lauren Atlee's:
Lauren Atlee, local physiotherapist in Cronulla completes her first Half Iron Man event in 5:42 at Yeppoon 2010.
Lauren was knocked from her bike by a car last year while training with the Cronulla Tri-club and suffered 2
broken legs along with multiple other injuries. She has successfully recovered from these major injuries to
compete at top level events. She decided to become a physio after suffering a spinal fusion at age 15 and is a
testimony to the benefits of applying physio principles to achieve this goal.
Well done Lauren.

Jan Hood Cup
This has been run and won by two of our very fast Club Members, congratulations go to Andrew Cross and Melanie Headley who received their Trophies at the Presentation held at our Club Tent after the Race. The weather was fine and a great day was had by all. A special thanks to Scott, Jas and Nic for helping make a great day even better.

Annual General Meeting
A good crowd attended the AGM, ate plenty of Pizza then got on with the task of Electing the new Committee. the President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, Registrar, Club Captain and Run Captain all retained their positions unopposed, and we also welcomed a few new faces to the Committee as well. A big welcome to Lyn Atkin, Cathie and Ian Ross, Rose Waterhouse and Nicole Jess.

From the President.....................

What an action packed year it has been for the Club, i know personally that time has flown and it will soon be time to vote at the AGM again. Please make sure that you re-new your Membership of the Club so that you are entitled to Vote at the AGM, and also make sure you join our Governing Body TriNSW, and enjoy the benefits of year round Membership rather than joining up late.
The Presentation Night was a blast with Belinda Soszyn retaining the Overall Club Champion Trophy.
In an Impressive year Belinda won Two World Championships, an Australian Championship, and won almost every race that she contested - well done on such a magnificent achievement.
In the Men's long time Club Member Chris Wooldridge took the gong, and in the Women's Jen Bramann continued her rapid rise to the top, and now heads to Germany to compete in the World Long Course Championship.
Others to win on the Night were Kylee McDonald - Club Person of the Year, a much deserved Award for the great work she does for the Club, Gabby Vassallo - Bent Forks Award, her courage in fighting back from serious injury is inspirational, and drew a standing ovation for her speech, Simon Mason - Bent Handlebars, no-where near as impressive as Gabby,
Geoff Bramann - Dummy Spit Award, ask him what it's like to ride 120kms in the Hawaiian Iron man with your Brakes rubbing ! Rookie of the Year - Anne Guethoff, an impressive debut saw her win the Enticer at Husky
and finally the Jan Hood Cup - Won by Andrew Cross in an impressive running season that saw him at the pointy end of the City to Surf and Blackmore's Running Festival - you'll have to run well to take the Title off him this year !
Also congratulations to all of our Age Group winners on a fantastic effort this season. The list is attached below, and you can come along to the Junior Presentation at the Sutherland Bike Track to pick up your Trophy if you were unable to pick it up on the night, this way you can cheer for the Juniors, and the Juniors can cheer for you.

Sunday Duathlon 6/06/2010

Weather: A storm before Race 1 and during Race 2, strong southerly breeze

Race 1
9 starters including 3 new
Welcome to Karen, Mitchell and Joel who all came along and raced for the first time and handled themselves really well. We had a short sharp rain storm before the race which made things a bit slippery, but everyone adapted well to the conditions and completed the course safely.
Two of our newcomers took home the prize money with Mitchell showing some good form on the bike and in the run to finish in front of Joel who also ran and rode really well. Stuart had a PB of 50 seconds and his sister Jessica improved her best time by 16 seconds.
Well done to Gabby who decided to increase the distance of her race this week and also to Keely, Thomas and Callum who give 100% every week.
It is really pleasing to see everyone working hard on improving their transition skills and the bike handling in the wet was excellent. However when riding just remember to stay to the left and only ever pass another competitor on the right.

Race 2
10 Starters including 3 new
Three of our seniors Jarrod (1^st) James (3^rd) and Dave (4^th) led the charge today with the first junior being Jared (2^nd). Jared improved his time from last year by a massive 2.5 minutes and thoroughly deserved his prize money. Slippery also carried on his good form from last week and improved his time by 3 seconds.
Well done to Kaylie who attempted and finished her longest Duathlon. Harry, Olivia, Tom and Ben continue to race consistently and their transitions are a joy to watch.

The Ludington (Big Stu) Report - Sunday Duathlon [ 30th May 2010 ]

Weather- Fine and still and much better than forecast earlier in the week.

Race 1
Welcome and well done to Claire who raced for the first time this week, she said it was hard but is looking forward to racing again. We had a very exciting finish with only one second separating the first two across the line. In the end Thomas just pipped Jessica with Stuart not very far behind. It is good to see everyone working on their transition skills because when races are this close a good transition is often the difference. Keely, Callum and Gabby all continue to race consistently and more importantly are enjoying their Sunday afternoon racing.

PB’s this week to
Thomas by 17 seconds (his 3^rd PB in a row)
Jessica by 1:03
Stuart by 39 seconds
Callum by 25 seconds

Race 2
9 starters including 4 from Engadine. We had 6 old hands, 2 new and 1 new at the distance.

Another very exciting race with only 90 seconds separating all nine athletes at the finish. Not surprisingly triathlon legend Slippery Morris (Engadine) used all his experience and guile to hold off a fast finishing Ben (9 years old) by one second with another junior Tom a further 9 seconds back. Slippery accepted the plaudits of the crowd but very generously donated his winnings to be distributed amongst the placegetters. It was good to see long term club member Simon Andrews tearing around the track and recording the fastest time we have seen so far this season. Well done to Claudia who raced the longer distance for the first time and was very happy to finish just ahead of mum.

It is great to see the juniors showing the adults how to tackle transitions. The kids ability to get on and off the bike safely and swiftly has the adults now thinking that maybe they should learn, especially when they can see how much time can be saved. Great work guys keep it up.

PB’s this week to
Tom by 42 seconds
Ben by 23 seconds
Matt by 8 seconds
Dave by 1 second (due to his improved transition skills)

Club Presentation
Saturday 19th June. More details to come next week. If you have any perpetual trophies from last year, please make sure you get them back to Gary as soon as possible.

Club AGM
This meeting will be held in July. This is when our new committee is elected and is a great chance to be involved in your club. A new treasurer and a new Race director will be needed this year. There may be other positions as well, and there is always room for general positions. We have a lot of work to be done, so the more we have on board to help the easier it will be. Anyway, something to think about.

Sunday Afternoon Handicapped Duathlons
Registration 2pm for a 2:30pm start.
Cost - $2
Entry Fees distributed as Prize Money, the more Racing the bigger the Pool !
This is a fun afternoon for all, and a great way to up-skill your Transitions.

Welcome to Keely, Stuart and Jessica who raced for the first time at one of these events. They all enjoyed themselves and hopefully they will be back on a regular basis. It was great to see Claudia and Callum back and racing well and special mention to Thomas who improved his best time by 43 seconds from last year. Unfortunately Melissa had a fall and hurt her arm so we all wish her a speedy recovery.

Race 2 - 8 starters – 3 new, 2 new at the distance and 3 regulars from last year.

Juniors Ben and Harry stepped up to the longer race for the first time today and showed most of their older rivals a clean pair of heels. Samantha produced a 14 second PB. Peter, Tom and Greg all backed up from Saturday’s race and acquitted themselves well. Dave produced a polished display in transition by mounting and dismounting for the first time in his career with his shoes on the bike. It was great to have Matt from Engadine Tri Club racing with us and despite the fact he had a puncture he was rapt with the format and was going home to spread the word amongst Engadine members.

If you have a spare Sunday afternoon in the near future come along and experience the fast and furious racing we have to offer. It is all handicapped and all entry fees ($2) are given back in prize money so everyone is a chance of winning.
