Folks

It’s over, Junior Presso is done.  A big thank you to all the people that came. We had a few awards, namely:

Junior Female Triathlete of the Year : Emma Davidson

Junior Male Triathlete of the Year:       Liam Rapley

Most Improved:                                           Samantha Davidson

Well done to the winners and a special thanks to all the juniors for their contribution over the last 12 months.

A big thanks to all that raced at our first Duathlon for the year, a very competitive field of all comers that included a pro triathlete and the President of TriNSW. The endurance format went off a treat in the main race and kept everyone at maximum heart rates for the entire time. We will again be doing the enduro format next time for the last race.

The next Duathlon will be on Sunday afternoon, 3 August, 2008 at 2pm so mark it in your calendars.  Again, it will be a three race day with race for everyone, whether Junior or Senior. There will be free coke for everyone and the odd prize from Fosters Brewing which will be randomly drawn from the competitors on the day. I need to thank Stuart Ludington for his contribution so thanks and also Glenn Rapley for timing our races.

A reminder that membership renewals are now open and should you want to partake in our uniform offer, please have them back to the club by July 24, 2008.   Same applies to new members reading this and we welcome all the new members that have joined.

Saturday training, this week (July 12) see’s a beach run from Wanda Surf Club to Boat Harbour and return, a great out and back course and a great opportunity for new members to catch up with old members.

I really want to thank our sponsors for past 12 months, without their support we could not give the best uniform deal of any Tri Club in Sydney and probably Australia, we are also about to release an opportunity to buy gear at wholesale prices to members and I will supply details of that shortly but the prices will be second to none. The sponsors are all listed down the side of this email, so take the time to click on their links and see what they are offering. We have done a very deliberate strategy of not having two sponsors from the same core business type which adds value to the sponsor and means the club doesn’t have any integrity issues.

The club is also exploring the idea of two social aquathons to be held at Woronora and Como once daylight saving comes round on a Friday night, more details will follow on that.

Sutho to Surf, its not far away and just a reminder that the club meets at the gear caravan behind the Civic Centre (think its called the Entertainment Centre these days) prior to the race.

The T3 events Scody Australian Teams Triathlon Championship – Matt McEwan is the principle organisor for our 2008 campaign. This race is the pinnacle of Club triathlon in Australia and we really try and support it each year (as an aside, club member Brett James is one of the organisors through T3 events). If you want to go in this let Matt know, he is organizing things like teams, baby sitting and a special Engadine t shirts. If you are new to the club, don’t be afraid to put your hand up for this event, Matt will seed you with like triathletes and it really is a show piece event on the Australian Triathlon scene. If you haven’t his contact details, hit the Parkside Physio link on the side of this email.  

Lastly, its your club, so if you want to raise anything or have any suggestions, go for it.

It’s over, Presso is done.  A big thank you to all the people that came to the night of nights of Sutherland Shire Triathlon. We had a few awards, namely:

Male Triathlete of the Year: Mick Hurley

Club Champion: Corrie Rowlands

Aquathon Teams Awards:

We also were raising some money for Dave  Baigent from Cronulla Tri Club who has cancer. Our little club, the best Triathlon Club in Australia only has 100 odd members, with about 60 at Presso raised $1833 which was outstanding and a lot more than expected.  As Special mention to Kim Barden who won an award then donated it back for it to be auctioned again. We get a lot on inquiries from other Clubs in NSW saying they have seen and heard we are doing good things, how do we do it? I never really know how to answer it other than say the people make the club and this is a classic example, so well done all.

We had a lot of help with donations for this, so I need to thank George Poulos from Endeavour Cycles, Trent Wood from Southside Runners, Tim A’hern from A’hern Performance Training, Paul O’Brien from BottlO’Briens at Cronulla, Mick and Justine Maroney from Maroney Swim Team and Emma McCormack who has put a lot of time and effort into this and donated some great stuff. A big thank you to all these people for donating items and a big thank you to the club members who supported it so heavily. If you want to donate something still or more, the link is : http://www.talbertfamilyfoundation.org/pages/DaveBaigent.html

Just a reminder, membership is now open, for 08/09 which will get you the best uniform offer in Australia for any Tri Club which we could not do without the sponsors listed down the side of the page, so support the people that support the club.

Don’t forget Saturday morning training from Engadine Pool at 7am or the training options provided by Maroney Swim Team and A’hern Performance Triathlon, both of which really support the club.

Second last, Chris Stanton is off to Ironman Japan so we wish him well and may the wind be on his back….

Lastly, its your club, so if you want to raise anything or have any suggestions, go for it.

Folks

If you want to bring friends feel free and it would be much appreciated if you could arrange tickets by May 31 as we have to advise the venue of numbers.

Tickets through Jo Southwell at cjsouthwell@aapt.net.au advising how many tickets you want and direct deposit the purchase price to the club bank account which is BSB 802 330 Account Number 111 242 –Engadine Triathlon Club Inc.   Make sure you include your name in the direct deposit transfer.

Membership 2008/2009. We will open this from June 1 for all new members and renewing members.

Club Champs – we had an outstanding turn out for Club Champs where we were smashed our 2007 performance rising up 6 places in 2008 – well done all who went. It was great to see the club tent present and special thanks to those who took it, those who offered to take it and those that came to the club BBQ – great weekend.

Busso Half – On the same day as club champs our serious artillery went over to Perth and had a dig at the Busso Half IM. Chris Stanton, on Jason Cain’s bike managed to get 9th outright in  a time of 4:11 and a bit. Rob Hurley, also smashed the course  up, getting 35^th overall in a time of 4:23 and blowing the demons away. Well done guys and good to see you starting to come into some form for December’s club events.   

Six Foot Track Marathon – The toughest marathon in Australia – Katoomba to Jenolan caves, 45k of off road torture. To understand how tough this race is, only two people in the race beat 3hrs 30 minutes and only 17 people beat 4 hours. We had 3 folk go up the hill, Karen Malone, nailing it 6 hrs 28 minutes, Mark Warzuger smashing out a 5 hrs 32 minute effort and Mick Campbell toying with the Pluviometer coming in for 6hrs and 6 minutes. Well done folks and if Ironman isn’t enough for some of you folk, go speak to Karen, Mark or Mick about a day out in the mountains.  Total respect for completing this event.

Engadine goes International – laying the foundations for Chris Stantons impending visit to Ironman Japan, we had more members than you can poke a stick at go of to the Paris of the Sth Pacific, Nouvelle Calodonie and do the Noumea Olympic Distance Triathlon. They included Mick Hurley, Jo Southwell, Kim and Steve Tudjman. On top of that Janice Meers, Chris Southwell and Bob Southwell all won their age groups. There were also a heap of supporters over there so well done all and I think we may have a few extras do this next year.  

The last club triathlon saw a great race with Moods Pharmacy at Engadine donating two $50 dollar vouchers for prizes so if you have any pharmacy needs, get on up and support the people that support your club. As per the last news, we will also be putting out a survey to members shortly on our racing options, more info will follow on that.   

Please remember to support our sponsors and now is the time to start working on your swimming with Maroney Swim Team at the all new Engadine Leisure Centre. Also Matt McEwan has a six week conditioning set for Wednesday nights which he sent out today, its limited to 15 spots so get in quick.

Lastly, its your club, so if you want to raise anything or have any suggestions, go for it.

Folks

It’s on.

Club Presso, June 14, St Moritz Room, Engadine Hotel.  This is a great night out, basically the Sutherland Shire Triathlon Night of Nights. This year will see the same amazing spread of hot meals and salads, awards presentation and a critically acclaimed one man band in which Jo Southwell will provide more details on in due course – but the entertainment will again be as good as last years.

I hear someone said, “tell em the price son, tell em the price”. We have reduced the price this year, it is now only $40 per ticket for the feed, live entertainment, awards ceremony and the company of some great people.  I hear someone said “How do I get tickets?”. Easy, email to Jo Southwell at cjsouthwell@aapt.net.au advising how many tickets you want and direct deposit the purchase price to the club bank account which is BSB 802 330 Account Number 111 242 –Engadine Triathlon Club Inc. 

I hear someone said “Can I bring friends?” , the answer is of course you can, each year we have many friends and family attend. I hear someone said “how do I buy drinks?”. Drinks are available at the bar at Engadine Pub prices.  It’s adults only and parents of our juniors are encouraged to attend. If you have any more questions, please ask.

Tickets need to be bought by May 31 and we would appreciate you buying them as early as possible so we can get an idea of numbers etc for the catering.  

Membership 2008/2009. We will open this from June 1 for all new members and renewing members. We will again be offering a uniform offer and more details on that will be released closer to June 1.

The big dance – we had four members go to Port Macquarie Ironman last weekend. John Hamerslag came out of retirement, overcoming  a career ending injury to smash the toughest Ironman Course in Australia pumping out a 14:06:22. Well done, John.

Slippery Morris, doing his third Ironman in 12 months, pb’ed the course. Like last year, where the marshalls forced him to do a 3^rd lap of the swim which severely affected his time, he again had to overcome more adversity. This year, he was subjected to mechanical failure on his bike in the Bonnie Hills and rather than doing a Macca or Norman Stadler and walking of the course, he elected to push his bike for 28kms back into Port where he then went out and nailed the run, pumping out a very respectable 12:45:46. Well done, Steve.

Stephen Tudjman, look, there is a lot of rumour and innuendo about Tudj’s performance at Ironman and the fact that he doesn’t train.  Well that is just a myth and completely untrue. Tudj did train for Ironman this year, I know it as fact he did one session only, it was 3 weeks prior to the race where he swam 400mtrs, followed by a 2k run, followed by another 400mtr swim into a final 2k run. He then went and did Ironman nailing it in 15:52:56. And lets not forget what he picked up Monday night after Port, no, not what you’re all thinking, he picked up a Five Times Australian Ironman Finishers Medal. Well done Steve, sensational effort.  

Which leaves the man who has finished 4 Ironmans in 12 months, Matt Griffin who  terrorized the course, treating the bike with utter contempt, coming home in 10:10:30. He was heard to cross the line saying “that was for pixie”. I don’t know what it meant, but you can do what you want when you do your 4^th Ironman in a year, your slowest being 10:23 and you break 10 hours twice. Well done Matt.

Lastly, thanks to all those members of the club that went up and supported the members going round, it was great to see you there and be part of the Ironman experience. We already have a quite a few members putting their hands up for IMWA in December and Port 09 so if you haven’t experienced IM, nows the time.

Club Champs, they are on the weekend of May 3 at One Mile Beach, Port Stephens, 12 noon race start on the Saturday. There will be a byo club BBQ for tea in the One Mile Beach Caravan Park on Saturday night for any members interested in attending as so many of us are staying there.  If anyone can take the club tent up, please let me know. Its about one foot in diameter and about 7ft long or so.

We will also be putting out a survey to members shortly on our racing options, more info will follow on that.   

Please remember to support our sponsors and lastly, its your club, so if you want to raise anything or have any suggestions, go for it.

Folks

The Triathlete of the Year points have been updated to include all races so far this year, at this stage Mick Hurley and Jenny Henville are out in front.  http://www.engadinetri.com.au/results.shtml

Ironman Australia is soon arriving and we only have 3 members going this year to my knowledge. They are John Hamerslag, Stephen Tudjman and Steve Morris – who is doing his 3^rd Ironman since April last year.

Ironman NZ was today and Matt Griffin went sub 10 for the second time since December in an IM, well done Matt.  Also a big congratulations to Glenn and Michelle Cochrane, Paul Donoghue, his partner, Deb Clemments and Kerrie Small who all went round at IMNZ as well. It was a very windy and blowy race so congratulations to all for covering the distance in such conditions.

Huski last weekend, some great races at Huski over last weekend saw a host of club members go round on the Saturday and Sunday. For once Huski didn’t put on the rain  and a great time was had by all. Congratulations to all those that finished, especially those first time finishers on that beautiful course.

2007/2008 Club Presentation will be on June 14 in the function room of Engadine Hotel like last year. Further details will follow but it will be similar to last year where we had a record numbers and a fantastic time was had by all. All adult members are invited and junior member parents.  We will have a separate Presso for the Junior members when the Duathlon series starts.

Congratulations to all the club members and their families that have recently had babies, must be the Holy Water of Engadine Pool.

Upcoming events include, Kurnell next weekend, the Shark Island Swim the weekend after (Mar 16) then Club Champs on the first weekend in May at Port Stephens – a fantastic race and the Club will do a BBQ after the race like last year.  Also the entries for the SMH Half Marathon open on March 3.

Don’t forget our club sponsors, all offering great products for members, check them out on the side of the email. I recently used Wherefinance myself to refinance my home loan and the experience was excellent and incredibly easy. If you haven’t looked at your loans for a few years, give them a ring, it will cost you nothing and you might be surprised how they can help you – you’ve got nothing to loose, just interest.  

Don’t forget Saturday training each week from 7am at Engadine Pool, details at http://www.engadinetri.com.au/training.shtml . There is a ride on next Saturday, March 8.

Lastly, its your club, if you want to raise anything or have any suggestions, go for it.

Folks

It’s been a big holiday period starting with our Aquathon and Pub Run on December 22 flowing right through to last Sunday’s Cronulla Triathlon.

All the club results have been updated and sent away for updating on the club web site. This should occur very shortly.

Club photo’s – a host of photo’s have gone up on the club website of members at various events in recent times, so hit the link and have a gander. http://www.engadinetri.com.au/photos/main.php

Junior shirts have arrived so if you haven’t got yours yet, contact Kim Tudjman.

Special thanks to Matt Nealon, Karen Parnham, Greg Thompson, Mick Delamotte and Kerrie Wilsher for running the BBQ at the Cronulla triathlon, this turned a profit for the club this year so well done guys.  

Next Club Triathlon is Feb 17 at Sutho Bike Track. This is going to be a joint race with Cronulla Tri Club and we will be having a BBQ and drinks afterwards. We have decided to “share” a race with Cronulla as both clubs get similar numbers to races and it will assist greatly with volunteers.

Upcoming races, Australia Day Aquathon in Wollongong this Saturday, Club Aquathon on Feb 2, Hell of the West the same weekend in which two club members going, Geelong 70.3 the week after, followed by the Club Tri with Cronulla then into the Huski weekend on Feb 23/24. Also don’t forget the Richie Walker Aquathon run by Cronulla Tri Club on 8 February.

Mick Hurley and Sue O’hara are currently leading the club Triathlete of the Year award, well done folks.

Saturday training sessions – folks, don’t forget these go from Engadine Pool, Saturdays at 7am.

If you are racing in Wollongong this Saturday, see you there and remember, they do entries on the day and cater for all distances. The link to the race is  http://www.ada.kemblajoggers.org.au/  It’s not to late to enter.

And welcome to our new members, we have had quite a few in the last few weeks, so welcome to the club.

"We kicked the New Year off to a great start with our annual New Year's Day Run.  Back at the Tudjman's again this year we decided to get off road and make use of the wonderful tracks through the back of Engadine, Yarrawarrah, Woronora, Sutherland and Loftus.  (Thanks to Thommo for designing a great course with some "great" hills.)  Seventeen people showed up for the run (including Emma Davidson).  We lined up for our traditional photo and Ellen T kindly stepped up to take it as Karen and her famous camera were up in Queensland bringing in the New Year in atrocious weather.  Everyone decided to do the long run and I skipped the race briefing as I figured those runners up front knew where they were going (????) and because I wasn't even sure what I was doing as I had fallen off my mountain bike that morning whilst out marking the course and think I was still in shock.

The weather was warm and there was a great enthusiam amongst the runners.  We quickly split into two groups but met up occasionally along the way.  We managed this because the front runners kept taking wrong turns and the slower runners, who never want to run any further than necessary so always know the correct course, ran the right way and got to places at the same time.  At one stage, despite the fact there was a sign that said turn right then left, and there was a blue arrow painted on the ground facing right, Johanna managed to talk everyone into turning left - that girl has so much sway.  Never mind, it just made the second group giggle as we turned right and met up with them coming back the other direction.

By the time we all made it back it was getting hot, so thank you to the Tudjman children who greeted us all with an ice block as we finished.  A very relaxing BBQ in the backyard followed.  It was great to see some newcomers to the run and we hope that next year more people will think about joining us on what has become an event  which highlights the social aspect of our club."

Folks

Next Saturday , 22/12/ 07 will be a big day,

Aquathon with Rego from 7am.

Kids race will start circa 7:15am.

Race 3 and 4 circa 7:30am after Maroney Swim Squad concludes.

The club will pay you’re pool entry and you will not be charged race fees.  Just tell them at the pool entrance, you are with Engadine Tri Club. These races will all be timed “training” runs for the day.  If you want to do any of the races as a team you can.  The race format and details are on the website.   You will still be asked sign a entry waiver/ form like normal. I will also bring along the Westfield Kids Club Showbags that include slinkies and colouring in stuff for all those under 12 – to get one you have to join the Westfield Kids Club.

The AGM will occur at the conclusion of the final race. It will be fairly quick, with the current Committee reporting back, standing down than election of the new  Committee. If you have any matters for general business let me know by Wednesday as none will be accepted on the day. We still have no nominations for the Vice President role, Race Director Role and One General Committee spot with most of the Committee seeking their current positions again.  It would be very good for someone to take on the race directors role, hint, hint, hint, it would also be good to see some new blood on the Committee.

At conclusion of the AGM there will be a BBQ so bring an empty stomach and that’s it, everything else is supplied, we even have bread and sauce sandwiches for the vegetarians.

There will be Santa (assuming he agrees to do it) and regardless of that, there will be lollies for kids (and any adults that want a few).

From there, those doing the pub run will kick of at 1pm at Como Pub, understand dress rules apply – basically don’t dress normal is the easiest way to describe the dress code, your imagination is your only limitation. And for those doing their first ETC pub run, you haven’t really done it, unless you do the Aquathon in the morning.

Club Picnic etc will kick off at Ferntree Oval at around 2pm (Ferntree is at the end of Ferntree St) and this is where the pub run will end. Bring your own food and drink.

Second last, we have a few members doing Canberra Half in the rain today, their results will be out mid week and I hope they are enjoying the weather.

Lastly, any questions ask and thanks for putting up with me throughout the year.

IMWA – well done to our club members who went over there and most smashed PB’s over the distance with Matt Griffin crossing the line in Sub 10hrs. Everyone looked sensational crossing the line on ironmanlive including Ben Sadlier, Joel McMahon, Slip Morris, Pete McDonnell, Cam James and Mark Warzunger.  A valiant effort for Darren Matthews who paid the price for the distance and had to withdraw mid race. Again, results are on the club results page.

Calling volunteers, we are doing the BBQ at the Cronulla Triathlon on January 20, so put your hands up to help out on the day.

By all accounts an exceptionally well run event by T3 Events and lets not forget T3's Cronulla Tri and Aquathon is fast approaching in Jan
