Darwin Triathlon Club

I feel the need, the need, for speed.

A reminder that our AGM/Presentation/Aquathlon # 1 is set to take-off next Saturday 12th September at 17.00 on a flight path around Lake Alexander.

The aquathlon will offer maximum cruise speeds, at low altitude. There is a chance of possible turbulence at the beginning if you get in the wake of some of our bigger engines, but we are ready for you to wing-it on the day.

No hitting the brakes and letting anybody fly right by.

Oh, and if you’re wondering why we are using amazing puns, the dress up theme for the presentation is "Pitch Black." It's like an adult book week, where we dress as whatever we like, and come up with a weak connection to a vague publication and pretend we have read it.

The event is fully catered (although we couldn't persuade the committee to allow us to drink and fly). Use the link below for both race and dinner tickets.

DTC legends at the Total Recreation fun run raising funds for the NT Special Olympics team.

Bron and John cruised to the lead in their respective 12km and 6km races.

NB completed his first long race in style while Louise also took on the 12km braving the heat that goes with an 8am start.

Aquathlon #1/kids race/AGM/Presentation 12th September 5PM at Lake Alexander

We know that everybody is looking forward to the AGM because, who doesn’t. It’s your opportunity to make a difference to our amazing triathlon community. All positions will be declared open to fill our 2026-27 season committee.

Whilst at the AGM, you may choose to participate in Aquathlon #1 which is a 300/2/300/2 course at Lake Alexander. The short course is 200/2. There will also be a kids event for kids/kidults.

Then hang around for the awards presentation and a feed.

Did we mention the dress up theme? “Pitch Black.” Get creative!

A few random shots from the Rapid Creek Half Marathon. Everyone looked great out there despite the humid conditions. Congratulations to all DTC runners and everyone out there. A great, well run event. Congratulations RCTC.

Sprint #1 in the bag.

Congratulations to all of our competitors this morning. We tried to pick a favourite but we couldn’t.

The morning would not have been made possible if it wasn’t for our RD Barb, fruitman Chris G, iceman Adam F, and smooth operations on the rego desk with Trudy and Claire L. Of course Darwin’s very own Timelord Gary had the stats at his fingertips. Lots of behind the scenes work was also done by Kate B. Give these people a big kiss (but always ask permission of course).

Tom Muecke and Kylie Scholtz took out the long course. They wouldn’t have got there so quickly without the “friendly” competition breathing down their necks.

A shout out to all those who took part in their first triathlon with us, and some returning faces.

Race highlights included breaking through the ice on Lake Alex, watching an entire pack of swimmers veer towards the wrong buoy, but recover it nicely, some complex wardrobe changes, and lots of lovely accents.

What was your race highlight? (Also we might be fishing for the gossip below as well. Any dags out there get something hilariously wrong?)
