Well done to all our novices who did their final race of the series last 
weekend, and a big thanks to the many many club members who assisted on the day.

Congratulations to Kate and Andre Zerger on the arrival of their baby daughter 
Sasha! Andre will be away from run coaching for a couple of weeks.

Swim coach Wanted
=================
The Canberra Bilbys Triathlon Club is looking for a level 1 swim coach to take 
on triathlon swim squad sessions. Please pass this on to anyone who might be 
interested.

Location: Canberra Olympic Pool, Allara St, Civic
Time: Monday, Wednesday and Friday 6:00pm to 7.30pm
Pay: $30 per session

   We have a mix of accomplished swimmers to new but capable swimmers from high 
school juniors to adults over 3-4 lanes. The successful applicant will be 
responsible overall but have an assistant coach for the slower lane.
   Ideally we would be looking for someone with a little familiarity with 
triathlon swimming needs but a strong commitment to the club and enthusiasm for 
coaching are most important.
   For more details or to express your interest please contact
Julia Easthope on 0414 343 851 or julialovell at yahoo.com
   The Canberra Bilbys Triathlon Club is one of the largest triathlon clubs in

and friendly environment for training and socialising.

XPD adventure race
==================
Starting next Tuesday night in Tasmania, covering 650km of MTBing, trekking, 
paddling and roping - expected to take at least 5 days for the winners and cut 
off of 10 days. Bilbys racing are Randall Fitzsimon and Alex Ramsey in team 
Entropic, and Julie Quinn and David Baldwin in Team Tangerine. Race info at 
http://xpd.com.au and live updates will be at http://sleepmonsters.com.au

Paddy Pallin 6hour Rogaine
==========================
The 2006 ACT Paddy Pallin Rogaine will be held near Bungendore. The course is a 
lovely mix of open grazing country and native forest, almost all of which is 
quite clear at ground level and should prove to be easy going. The area is very 
suitable for beginners, but also provides fine detail to challenge more 
experienced rogainers. Once again, Paddy Pallin will be supporting the event by 
providing a great range of lucky dip prizes. The course map will be a specially 
prepared 1:15000 scale orienteering map.
Entries are open until Sunday 26th Feb, after that you pay an extra $10 per 
person late fee. http://act.rogaine.asn.au

Warning to female runners around Mt Ainslie
===========================================
My apologies for not passing this warning on a couple of weeks ago.

Naomi writes: "Hi girls (and guys who know girls that run).
   I'm keen to warn you about an incident that happened while a friend of
mine was running around Mt Ainslie between 8-9am on Sunday morning. She
was running by herself and was sexually assaulted by a man (of African
appearance) who was also out running.
   It might be a good idea to run with your mobile phone (if you're running
by yourself) or run with someone else.
   Please pass the message on to other girls who might run or walk around
there."

Jindabyne Multi-sport event - March 19th
========================================
The second year of this great race. It's a great day, all based around Lake 
Jindabyne, starting at the north and working south and then west into Koskiuszko 
NP. 4 disciplines (swim, paddle, run, bike) X 3. Get yourself in a team or for a 
real challenge go solo - it's easier than the triple tri! Info at: 
http://www.srichinmoyraces.org/au/events/jindabyne/

Wanted - lake swimmer for female team
We need a swimmer to do one or two swim legs in a team of 4 women doing the
Jindabyne Sri Chinmoy event (Sunday of Canberra long weekend).
Should be a pretty good team - but most importantly one with the right
attitude to good times. Swim legs are 1-2.5km long. If you're a possible starter 
please reply to lyndseyvivian at yahoo.com.au or Erica.Collins at halliburton.com

Wanted - support crew
Julie Quinn and David Baldwin are each looking for support crews for solo 
efforts. All expenses paid long weekend in Jindabyne on offer! Contact Julie - 
julie.quinn at bilbsy.org / 0421 021693 or David - david.baldwin at bilbys.org / 0402 
270790.
