Around the grounds



Luke aka Team Felt, picked up his new ride last weekend and is a very excited TT bike owner. I’m guessing this might be the ticket to jump start his Ironman training, if it doesn’t he’s in very very deep trouble…..
On the weekend we lost the part human part freak bloke we called 'The Zuuer'. It was sad to see him move on, but he has moved on to greener (and frikin hot) pastures up in Darwin. We will be seeing him at Ironman next year if we don't see him before. Best of luck up there Glenn and family.
It seems more of the significant others have had enough of standing on the sidelines and are slowly but surely dipping their toe in the world of Triathlon. For me it is a great feeling as I want that that buzz you get on a race weekend to be experienced by my better half, and of course experience the obvious health benefits.

It seems the Tri bug has bitten the Boyne Tannum area big time with a sizeable group training for the Tannum Tri in December. This is great to see and can only be a good thing. Who knows someone might even start up a club one day….no not me….I would assist though……

Muz is only a few weeks out from Ironman Busso now and from all accounts that skinny he has to run around in the shower to get wet! It’s been great to see his faithful sidekick Chip there to help him through some of the training and they will both be better for it. Well done to both of you. Kona is calling Muz! I did have grand plans to be there for some of the riding but fate it seems had other ideas…..

Arpit has returned from the mother land and has jumped back into training with both feet. His marathon 2 Hunge on Sunday by himself while a suffer fest for him, is money in the bank in my books. Arpit has the Wanaka Challenge in January so it’s all systems go from here in now for him. Talking about go! it seems Arpit is leaving us shortly as well! More on that later.
