25.01.2022 SQUAREONE BIKE TT 13 SEP-20 & PACE ATHLETIC RUN TT 1 17 SEP-20 RESULTS NOW AVAILABLE Results, results everywhere! With the amount of racing that’s happened during the past week, things feeldecidedly normal. What a lovely change to the past six months! Congratulations to all BTC members who got stuck into the first two events of BTC Time Trial Week #1 the one-lap (23km) option at the SquareOne Bike Time Trial on 13 Sep and the 5km Pace Athletic Run Time Trial on 17 Sep. ...All results are now available via the BTC results page here - http://www.balmoraltriclub.org.au/race-results You’ve all earned some very valuable points toward the BTC Age Group Competition (points tally to come) and (if you were lucky) picked up a lucky draw prize at last night’s run TT courtesy of club sponsor Pace Athletic. Hopefully that made the leg and lung burn worth it! Special mentions to: club juniors Cavan, Connor, Declan and Kya smashing it up at the bike TT, with Declan and Kya then backing up and joining another junior Cooper at the run TT. BTC juniors are certainly making it tough for the adult members and their old worn out legs; new members Matt Nelson, Max Gaubert and Jonathan ‘Jonty’ Brunner who got stuck right into club business, finishing toward the top of the run TT results. Looks like there are some new guns in town; and finally but maybe most importantlyto Jean Kevans, who completed her first bike time trial after saying that she would not do a triathlon because she couldn’t/wouldn’t ride a bike. Jean beat her own expectations by coming in nearly five minutes under one hour. There’s some inspiration for all of us. Whew, that’s a lotand TIME TRIAL WEEK HASN’T YET FINISHED! Next up we have the Home Loan Guy’s 1km Swim Time Trial 3pm on Saturday at Balmoral Beach. For more info about BTC swim TTs head to http://www.balmoraltriclub.org.au/races. We are due some rain but you know what? You’re gonna get wet anyway so you might as well just get stuck in and go for a swim (for 1kmslightly faster than normal). See you in the brine!

17.01.2022 Here’s commitment for you! Club member and snow bird (migrates to warmer climes over winter) Gerard Renton arrived back from Thailand this week and went straight into mandatory 14 days quarantine at a CBD hotel. Gerard hasn’t let a little thing like ‘not being able to leave the room’ get in the way of some training, getting a relative to drop off his bike and trainer at the hotel so he can make the most of his time in COVID related internment. Where there’s a will there’s a way
